&lt;p&gt;I have over twenty years of experience in accounting and finance.&lt;br /&gt;
I have been actively supporting SME&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp; and micro-businesses for the last four years and&amp;nbsp; I understand the challenges and support that&amp;nbsp; SME&amp;#39;s ,&amp;nbsp;micro-businesses&amp;nbsp; and the entrepreneurs require.
