What is your role at BHP?

I started at BHP in early 2024 and have not looked back since! I have over 20 years of experience in the accounting industry and am a Partner in the Digital Finance team.

In addition to preparing accurate Annual Statutory Financial Statements and Corporation Tax Returns, the Digital Finance team works as an extension of our clients’ finance functions – implementing accounting systems, providing regular management accounts/insights and helping our clients create robust forecasts and monitor their cash flow – so they have the peace of mind there are in safe hands. First and foremost, we strive to understand the needs of our clients and ensure that we can remain flexible in our offerings and services as these evolve.

What are you most passionate about?

Supporting owner-managed businesses to thrive by providing effective financial management information.

What keeps you motivated?

The variety – both in terms of clients and work! Our clients span all industries, so I am always working across a broad spectrum of sectors, observing how they interact.

We are looking after clients throughout their lifecycle, from their inception to sale. So one day, I can be assisting a start-up in implementing a new accounting system and the next helping an established business maximise its value for a potential sale.

What advice would you give trainees starting out?

Stay curious, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

What is your favourite thing to do at the weekend?

Spending time outdoors with my wife, our two amazing children and our dog (an energetic Vizsla named Willow), whether it’s hiking in the countryside or just enjoying a picnic.
