Partner
“I joined mgr in 2005 having trained and qualified as an ACA at Dixon Wilson. I spent my first few years at mgr working in our business management department and servicing mostly clients in the music industry. I subsequently moved across to the audit and accounts department, progressing to manager and then associate partner. I now help to manage the audit and accounts department with other associate partners and managers, manage a portfolio of clients and provide technical financial reporting assistance to other managers and partners.
It was my passion for live music that attracted me to mgr initially, but it’s the people that make mgr special – they’re nice people who really care about what they do.”
