I’m proud to have been a part of Rayner Essex since 2003 and a Partner since 2004. I get the most professional satisfaction from helping clients develop and manage all aspects of their business affairs. Having held senior positions outside of Rayner Essex, I’ve seen things from both sides and value the variety that accountancy offers. My skill set includes extensive commercial knowledge and strong audit and tax expertise.

My experience spans a broad range of audit services, including statutory and group audits and regulatory reporting. I work closely with clients across diverse sectors to provide practical, straightforward advice they can act on. I focus on building lasting relationships and providing the attention to detail required to support each client’s specific business needs.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about supporting causes that make a real difference. I co-chair the Founder’s Day Committee at Queen Elizabeth’s Boys’ School, helping raise funds that enhance educational facilities and broaden opportunities for students from all backgrounds. I’m also involved with Children with Cancer UK, helping to organise fundraising events inspired by a close friend’s daughter’s battle with leukemia. Giving back through these causes is incredibly fulfilling and reflects my belief in helping those in real need and contributing to the wider community.

I’m also an avid Formula 1 fan and never miss a race,  though these days I tend to rely on Sky+!  I’m a devoted father and I’m known to regularly partake in Zumba attending sessions two to three times a week.
