WHAT DO YOU DO?

I head up Cooper Parry’s Thames Valley team, bringing over three decades of experience in public practice, 28 of those spent deep in audit and tax. I work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with business owners, Directors and leadership teams across SMEs, large corporates, UK subsidiaries and multi‑national groups.

My focus? Giving people clarity and confidence. Whether that’s through audit, management reporting, due diligence, or navigating both corporate and personal tax. I specialise in supporting businesses going through change, scaling up, buying, selling, or resetting for the next chapter, drawing upon my experience of leading my own successful businesses through these stages between 2008 and 2024, and working with multiple clients going through change.

WHY DO YOU DO IT?

I love getting under the skin of a business and understanding what makes the owners tick. Helping people make smart decisions, avoid sleepless nights and get closer to their goals is incredibly rewarding.

For me, the best part of the job is the relationships, being the person they pick up the phone to when something big is happening… or even when they just fancy a chat.

WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN?

Across my career, I’ve worked on:

• Growth journeys for ambitious owner‑managed businesses
• Acquisitions and business disposals
• Complex audit and reporting projects
• Multi‑layered tax planning for high‑net‑worth individuals and groups
• Cross‑border advisory work for multinational organisations

Whatever the size or stage of the business, I’m there to provide clear guidance, a steady hand, and commercial insight backed by decades of experience.

WHAT’S ON TOP OF YOUR BUCKET LIST?

Easy: a trip to the Maldives, sunshine, sea, space to relax and maybe even a chance to finally improve my golf swing.

(When I’m not working, you’ll find me watching pretty much any sport, cycling, walking, or spending time with my family. And if you ever want to talk shop — I’m always up for it.)
