Senior Manager

Main Practice Area

Corporate accounts, tax and audit. I also work on company valuations and due diligence.

Career rundown

I started my training with a big 4 firm in London auditing FTSE100 financial services businesses on a graduate scheme. I then moved to a top 60 firm in the West Sussex area where I completed my training and was more involved in general practice and corporate finance. I qualified in 2010 and remained with the same firm for another year and a half.

I joined RPD in early 2012 as a Senior working directly under one of the Client Managers here on her portfolio. Over the years I have been here I have developed my all-round knowledge. I became a Client Manager in 2015 and in 2020 a Senior Manager.
