WHAT DO YOU DO?

I’m the Director of Forensic Accounting at Cooper Parry, leading our Northern Ireland based Forensic team and working across the wider CP network. I specialise in preparing clear, defensible expert witness reports for a wide range of legal disputes, helping solicitors, barristers, insurers and businesses cut through financial complexity with confidence.  

Whether it’s quantifying losses, unravelling financial evidence, or presenting expert opinion, I help clients understand the story behind the numbers. I bring together technical knowhow and objective analysis to make sense of complex, challenging situations where accuracy really counts. 

WHY DO YOU DO IT?

I fell in love with the analytical side of accountancy after studying Mathematics, and since joining the profession in 2005, I’ve built a career around solving problems that actually make a difference in real world disputes. 

What motivates me most is the impact our work has: bringing objectivity to challenging situations and helping clients navigate complex claims with clarity and fairness.  

WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN?

Over my career, I’ve gained broad experience across audit and business services, insolvency and corporate finance before specialising in forensic accounting. I now prepare expert witness reports for disputes involving shareholder disputes, fraud investigations, matrimonial valuations and loss of earnings assessments.  

My work often involves analysing complex financial evidence, quantifying losses, challenging assumptions, and presenting findings that stand up to scrutiny, whether in negotiations or in court. As an accredited Expert Witness, independence and clarity are at the heart of everything I deliver.  

WHATS ON TOP OF YOUR BUCKET LIST?

Top of my bucket list is exploring more of the world with my family – discovering new places, new cultures, and making memories that will stick with us for years.
