“The team and culture at Rayner Essex provides a fantastic working environment. The communication with the partners and other departments is always straightforward and relaxed and this shines through in our relationships with our clients.”

I’m a part qualified ACCA accountant originally from Romania. I came to the UK in 2005 and in that time I have always worked within private practice covering all aspects of accountancy. My experience includes payroll, VAT, personal tax, sole trader accounts right through to Limited Accounts. I joined Rayner Essex in 2016 where I have been able to specialise within Accounting Solutions, which is a huge growth area for our practice and we have a talented and diverse team.

Client relationship management is at the heart of what I do. I support clients with their accounting needs and help them move away from traditional accounting and into more cloud based solutions. When clients present me with particular problems or issues I love the challenge of solving them and I find it very rewarding when I receive great feedback from them. Sharing my knowledge and experience with junior members of the team is also a responsibility that I enjoy and take very seriously.

My job requires me to keep on top of all the technological developments within Accounting Solutions but like everyone I love my down time too. Jumping on my motorbike, touring and camping around the British countryside, absorbing myself in its heritage and architecture is right at the top of my list of favourite things to do. I enjoy the outdoors and fresh air and so my exercise of choice is running which keeps me fit and helps me burn off the calories from fruity mousse cakes which I love to bake.
