I am the owner and director of Shire Bookkeeping. I started my career in finance straight out of school in 2012. I have worked for a major manufacturing & export company, small local restaurants and pubs, and outdoor education settings and I am affiliated with several local accountants in Ludlow, Tenbury and Bridgnorth.

I started my own venture with Shire Bookkeeping in March of 2023, and since then I have grown my client base of local rural businesses by word of mouth only. I find particular interest in bookkeeping for start-up businesses helping them get going on the right financial foot.

I offer a range of services that can be found here. I have become a Xero Partner and a Quickbooks ProAdvisor which offers clients expert advice on their accounting software and exclusive package offers.
