Business Support, Administration & Financial Services
I provide a powerful blend of business administration, financial management, operational expertise and technical problem-solving - helping organisations, charities, entrepreneurs and growing businesses streamline operations, improve productivity and build more efficient ways of working.
​
With more than 30 years of professional experience across corporate, charity and entrepreneurial environments, I've worked in roles including Office Manager, Management Accountant, Assistant Accountant, Project Manager, Business Systems Consultant and IT Manager. This broad background gives me a unique understanding of how every part of a business fits together - from finance and administration to technology, people and processes.
