About Sarah
I love to find opportunities for clients – saving tax, identifying a new growth area or fixing a potential problem before it becomes critical. Its very important to me that my clients have a solid understanding of their own business and understand how to read a profit and loss statement, and are monitoring their business regularly
A favourite task for me would be working on a clients budget and complex break-even and productivity analyses , structuring is also rewarding – especially sitting down with a client and explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the most complex structures
In my personal time, I enjoy bike riding, walking my dog Ollie, reading and learning to play the piano
