Meet The Team

David has been working in the accountancy profession since 1989 and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1993. He has worked in the Midlands for all of this time with the majority of the time being spent working in Burton on Trent. He has an extensive knowledge of working with all forms of local businesses from the sub-contractor through to limited companies. His general practice background means that he is equally at home with both accountancy and taxation matters.

He is very keen on utilising the latest technology to help client’s get the best financial information to help them make decisions. The current trend for businesses that want to remain on the ball is using cloud based bookkeeping, which will be key in the move to Making Tax Digital. He has a working knowledge of Xero, Quickbooks and Kashflow and is a Certified Adviser for Xero and Quickbooks.

David enjoys playing golf and watching most sports.

Mark started his career in accountancy back in 1979 with a practice in Ashby de la Zouch where he gained his AAT qualification. Since then he has worked in small and medium sized practices across Staffordshire towns giving him a good breadth of experience advising businesses from sole traders to multi million pound companies.

 His general practice background means he has a good working knowledge of both accountancy and taxation matters. In line with the trend towards cloud based bookkeeping he has recently become a Certified Adviser for Quickbooks.

Mark has two daughters both away at university and so now has more time to enjoy spending his leisure time swimming, cycling and visiting the coast with his wife.

Sarah has over thirty years of experience in book keeping and accounts,which has led to her gaining a vast amount of knowledge and expertise. Sarah has been working for this practice and its predecessor for all of her working life and is a valued team member. She has recently undertaken the role of training our apprentices, which uses Sarah’s friendly and approachable manner. Additionally, Sarah has been increasing her knowledge of Xero so that she will be able to help clients as Making Tax Digital kicks in.

In her spare time Sarah loves spending time with her family, socialising, cooking and exploring new places.
