Home Business Report: The Infographic

&lt;p&gt;Being born and bred in Torbay, I&amp;rsquo;ve been fortunate to spend my career to date at some of the Westcountry&amp;rsquo;s finest accountancy firms, working closely with local business owners to grow and achieve their objectives. Having been brought up in one of Paignton&amp;rsquo;s largest hotels, I have been involved in business from a very young age which has given me a unique perspective of the leisure and Tourism sector, the largest industry in the English Riviera.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am a Chartered Accountant and owner of Accounting4Everything with broad experience in all aspects of accounting, tax and financial management. I look after a portfolio of clients in a wide range of industries, varying from unincorporated sole traders &amp;amp; partnerships to companies close to the audit thresholds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015 I was honoured to win &amp;#39;Practitioner of the Year&amp;#39; at the British Accountancy Awards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;rsquo;m the founder of #TorbayHour on Twitter every Monday 8-9pm and manage the @Torbay_Hour account. This has been a highly successful venture to bring together businesses and individuals across Torbay &amp;amp; South Devon in a focused hour of tweeting with local people. Already we have seen relationships building and business generated through it, as well as local charities &amp;amp; events using it to raise awareness.&lt;/p&gt;
