Get Connected

Hi, I'm Kate - Co-Founder and Head Finance Ninja at Sprout.
I’m passionate about helping ethical and sustainable businesses achieve their full potential and know how important it is to have access to the right financial skills as they grow.
Sprout was set up to provide ethical and sustainable businesses with flexible strategic support and finance (accounting) services to help them to build stronger financial foundations for growth and enable them to focus on the important stuff like having a positive impact on people and the Planet. Post qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in EY in London many moons ago, I've gained a wide breadth of financial, strategic, commercial and operational experience across a broad range of industries - largely in SME and owner-managed businesses. Industry experience includes brand design, PR, retail, media, music, land investment, tech/software development and SaaS.
