&lt;p&gt;I am a &lt;strong&gt;chartered certified accountant&lt;/strong&gt;, having earned a respected reputation in the field of accounting, with more than &lt;strong&gt;15 years of experience&lt;/strong&gt; in working with small and medium-sized enterprises.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having worked with business owners ranging from one-man start-ups to large companies requiring different level of services, I have developed a passion for the profession and I am driven by the success of my clients.&lt;br /&gt;

I have spent many years in business working at boardroom level, holding various positions before being motivated to start my own practice, Makesworth Accountants, where I have blended my technical skills in accounting and tax with my business skills derived from my time in the industry.&lt;br /&gt;

I have embraced the changing times and technologies and strongly agree that accountants are moving from being number crunchers to being reliable and trusted advisors. Throughout this process, Makesworth has been able to secure various affiliations and awards:&lt;br /&gt;
