ACCA = Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. But today, I challenge that definition. It’s not just a qualification — it’s equivalent to a master’s degree, especially after completing the strategic level papers. it's far more than numbers I sat my final exams in 2007, two months after losing my mum. I took the three final papers and passed all of them. I gained full ACCA membership that same year. That’s determination applied.

It wasn’t just tax, audit, and financial reporting. The syllabus crossed into:

Business Models
People Management
Corporate and Business Law
Strategy
Performance management

It gave me the foundation to work across multiple disciplines, not just accounting.

Today, I apply that knowledge daily — supporting multi-million-pound companies, designing international structures, driving tech and AI implementation, and helping businesses scale across borders
28 years of practical experience across 100s of businesses — and that’s what qualifies me to be the advisor I am today.

So when people think "accountant", I often have to reiterate what that actually means in this modern world.

Does any of the below sound like what you’d expect?

Due diligence
System restructures
AI & tech implementation
Global set-up
Conference support
Product development support
Recruitment
Business planning
Educating teams across every layer
Supporting Accountants do the same
Project Management
This is what I do.
This is how I help businesses grow. And I’ll keep doing it — with focus, with drive, and with the same determination I’ve had since day one.
