Nicky qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2002. As part of her training she undertook a 6-month secondment to the tax department, and now works increasingly in both Corporate and Personal Taxation. She manages a number of the firms’ Trust clients and qualified as a Chartered Tax Advisor in 2006. Nicky’s work remains varied, including audit, accounts, taxation and general practice development. One of her key roles is to deal with the substantial number of enquiries the firm receives from new and young businesses.

“I really enjoy working with owner-managers. It’s so important to know how each business works and the specific challenges it faces. With that in mind it’s always interesting to understand different owner’s individual goals and working out how to achieve them.”
