10+ years business and finance experience, Master's Degree in Business, Chartered Accountant and fluent French speaker. I was born in France, but have lived in the UK most of life, and as result in speak English and French fluently. I trained with the accounting firm, PwC and following this have worked for the UK's largest privately owned food manufacturer. My career began in financial audit but since then my roles have become increasingly more consultancy-based, strategic, operational, and focused on core business issues and risks. I have had significant business exposure and can therefore provide expert business guidance with the added knowledge of financial implications (which many other consultants cannot do). Over the past 10 years I have established a base of tax clients who I assist in submitting annual UK tax returns. I will be completely honest in all discussions and will only accept work where I can genuinely add value. I am largely flexible, and available either on-site or web-based. I am also available for overseas business trips in my capacities as both a French speaker and business advisor. This could include meetings with customers, suppliers and other contacts where live translation is needed. Whether you're a start-up needing all-round advice, an established business needing expert ad-hoc assistance, or your business simply needs someone to bounce ideas off, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I really enjoy having a variety of work as this widens my skill base, allows me to see the bigger picture and therefore makes my subsequent consulting even more valuable to clients.
