Helping people, through numbers.

ACCA accountant based in London. I work across tax, bookkeeping and advisory, and care about clear thinking, good systems, and the people behind the numbers.

Based in

London, UK

Here to make your numbers human.

I didn't start out wanting to be an accountant, but I've come to love this work deeply. Today, I help founders and small businesses understand their finances, make smarter decisions, and grow with clarity and confidence.

When I was younger, I dreamed of becoming a doctor. It felt like the best way to help people. That's what led me to study medicine. But during my first year at university, I realised something important: even though I admired the profession, it didn't align with my strengths or what I wanted to do every day.

Later on, I came across accounting almost by chance. The more I studied it, the more I enjoyed it. Maybe it was my love for numbers, or maybe it was something deeper. I discovered that accounting wasn't just about spreadsheets or tax. It was a way to support people in a very real and impactful way.

Today, I work with founders and small business owners, especially those just starting out, and I focus on more than just getting the job done. I walk alongside them. I explain the why behind the numbers. I build systems that save time. I help them feel confident in decisions, not just compliant.
