Jennie

Jennie joins us as an accountant with over 15 years’ experience. She loves helping small businesses grow and we know she’ll be able to provide invaluable advice to our clients.

When she’s not working Jennie enjoys spending time with her children and their dog, Eddie. She also has a penchant for setting up a side-hustle so has experience when it comes to starting a new business.

Kate

Kate studied English & Theology at University in the USA (on a football scholarship) and went on to become an English teacher.

She retrained and became a fully qualified ACCA accountant in June 2019. Having worked in Private Equity for 5 years as a Senior Accountant she’s joined us as an Accountant and Client Manager.

At the weekends Kate loves to run, play football and spend time doing anything generally outdoorsy with her wife and three year old daughter.

Nichola

Nichola is our Bookkeeping and Payroll Manager.

Her first foray into accounts was in 2005. After the 2008 financial crisis she moved to work in health care, supporting our wonderful NHS.

When she’s not got her head in the numbers Nichola really enjoys running and going to the gym.

Marek supports The Bookkeeping Team and our clients with bookkeeping and accounting. He’s currently studying for his AAT Level 4.

Besides work, Marek is engaged and has an energetic young daughter. He likes spending time with his family, travelling, reading and listening to music.

Ben

Ben supports our clients with management accounts and forecasting and recently completed his AAT studies.

Outside of work he is married and has a young son (which we’re sure must keep him busy). He enjoys cooking and has completed his bronze ballroom dance medals!

Isabelle

When she’s not working, she likes to spend as much time travelling as possible, enjoys skiing and hanging out with her family.
