What do you do?

I lead the audit relationships of some of Cooper Parry’s more complex clients, including large groups, AIM listed entities and private equity backed businesses. I also work on pitches for new clients and develop opportunities for work for our team through my network.

Why do you do it?

I spent 10 years at Deloitte, I love audit but fell out of love with life at the Big 4, so I came to CP in 2016 and found my place. I love our culture and our people, and really enjoy specialising in audits of large groups, AIM listed entities and PE backed businesses. I also love working in a close-knit team and working closely with Katie Warrington in the big business team (and I love spreadsheets a little bit too!).

What kind of projects have you been involved in?

I’m more in the audit side of large corporates, so I don’t really get involved in many projects.

What’s on top of your bucket list?

I’d like to take my kids to Disneyland Florida.

It’s top because they are getting older, and the window is closing. Their childhood disappears so fast! I want to give them plenty of magical experiences while they’re young and share that magic with them.
