Daniel Sowden

What is your role at BHP?
As a Partner and member of the Digital Finance team, my passion lies in helping business owners not only meet their financial obligations but truly understand and harness the numbers that drive their success. I work closely with entrepreneurs at every stage, from ambitious start-ups to established companies looking to scale. I pride myself on providing tailored advice, strategic insight, and hands-on support.

I view my role not just as an accountant but as a trusted advisor and an extension of a client's leadership or financial team. Whether it's streamlining operations, planning for growth, improving cash flow, or navigating complex tax landscapes, I aim to bring clarity and confidence to the decision-making process. Every business is different, and I take the time to understand each client's goals, challenges, and vision for the future.

What keeps you motivated?
Always wanting to do and be better. Helping others, whether it be family, friends, clients, or colleagues.

What advice would you give trainees starting out?
Stay curious, or be nosey! Ask lots of questions; this will ensure you understand the 'bigger picture' and why the numbers matter.
