Guiding You As You Grow
What I believe
At MoonStone FD, I listen to your business’s goals and your individual challenges so I can provide finance advice and mentorship to CEOs and small teams.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re starting out with a business idea or running a long-established company – as long as our values align, we’ll be a great fit. I’ve worked with companies across the UK for more than 20 years, so I’ll bring that knowledge to you as I analyse numbers, develop forecasts and manage risks. But I’ll also be here to guide you towards your goals as we work through challenges in a way that makes sense and feels right.
You need to trust me with your finances and I’ll do that with integrity and in complete confidence. I also believe in working in partnership and I train finance teams so they feel respected and empowered to make a difference using the knowledge we’ve shared.
As a member of CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants), I’ll offer both support and expertise. As well as finding out about, and acting on, immediate changes in the finance industry, such as developing responses to HM Treasury budgets, I mentor others through CIMA. With an advisor in your industry, you’ll have the clarity and confidence to grow a successful business built around the things that matter most to you.
Who I am
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked in a huge variety of industries – from manufacturing and legal firms with multi-million-pound turnovers to third-sector and not for profit organisations who help their communities. I’ve been a finance director, team member and a sounding board for teams of all sizes, creating strategies and standing by their side as they see them through.
I’m a CIMA-qualified finance director and Chair of the CIMA Members in Practice (MiP) Committee. I work with the committee to serve MiPs across the UK by organising and delivering events and webinars. I’m a point of contact for MiPs in Yorkshire and the North East, who come to me for specific support and all-round industry advice.
Through CIMA I mentor other accountants, with CIMA providing me with guidance and training. I thoroughly enjoy this role and find it very fulfilling to help others on their accountancy journey.
I truly believe to look after our businesses and our teams we need to look after ourselves. I hope to lead by example as I find ongoing ways to enhance my mental health and well-being. I enjoy yoga, qigong and puzzles and love spending valuable time in the company of my family and friends.
It’s also important to me that we find balance in the world around us. I’m studying for a Feng Shui certification, which I’d love to chat to you about if harmony is one of your values, too.
