Melanie Curtis Accountants

17 years!

CEO/Founder

Speaking to new and existing clients, spending time running strategy sessions with our coaching clients, doing final reviews on accounts and helping the team.

Helping business owners to have less stress, more free time and more money by running better and more profitable businesses. I love hearing about clients' plans for their businesses and helping them to move from dream to reality!

Spending time with family and friends, eating out, shopping and travelling to new places.

I have a baby granchild called Jacob!

That is a difficult one! I love Mexican food and so I think I'd have to say chicken enchiladas with homemade guacamole and lots of chilli!

My children plus Jacob (he's only little so he doesn't count in the 3 haha!)

This sounds really sad but I'd say Good Morning Britain.

Coffee 100% - I hate tea!

8 years!

Accountant.

We start the day with a team meeting but other than that no two days are ever the same. Over the course of the day I carry out various tasks from: reviewing accounts or tax returns, having meetings with clients, helping out other team members and helping out clients wherever possible!

Helping out clients to overcome issues, help them operate in a tax efficient manner and generally help them realise and achieve their goals.

Outside of work I enjoy playing/watching football and playing golf whenever possible.

Most people hate snakes or spiders but I hate chickens!

Fajitas!

A football, my golf clubs (you can never get enough practice) and probably some food.

Only Fools and Horses.

Tea!

I've worked at MCA in the past but only recently joined as a Marketing Manager.

Marketing Manager.

No day is the same really as cliché as that sounds! I could be uploading blog posts to the website, writing the newsletter, analysing data from Google Analytics, helping with the strategy for our advertising and SEO, helping create paid ads and more.

The vast variety of tasks that I get to be involved in. In marketing nothing stays the same and it's all a learning curve, so I love to continously learn new ways of doing things.

I absolutely love food! I love baking and cooking at home but I also love going out for dinner. I'm always on the look out for new recipes and cuisines to try!

I'm initially quite a quiet person but once someone gets to know me I'm very talkative - my sister and boyfriend can vouch for that!

This is really difficult... can I have two? Either rump steak with skinny fries, blue cheese sauce and buttered veg or fully loaded nachos with guacamole, sour cream, corn, lime, cheese and chorizo - can you tell I love food?!

My kindle, my boyfriend and a BBQ (don't tell Vicky I stole her idea!).

I don't really watch much TV but I loved Million Pound Menu on Channel 4 which was presented by Fred from First Dates.

Tea!

About a year and a half.

Accountant & Accounts Team Leader.

Mostly just doing accounts for the day but sometimes assisting my team.

I have the independence of how I will work on the accounts but still following the standards. Also, I have the capacity to guide and help my teammates and teach them the things I know.

I am a foodie, so I love trying new food from different stores.

That I am independent and strong about my beliefs and eager on achieving my goals.

Grilled pork!

Gaming gadget, snacks and water.

None at the moment.

Coffee!

Around three months.

I work as an Accountant.

My day starts with checking my emails. Then we have our team meeting where we discuss our work for the day. After the meeting, I prepare accounts and sometimes prepare personal tax returns.

Preparing the financial statements or accounts for clients. As an Accountant, a reconciled trial balance gives me a feeling of satisfaction!

I love spending time with my family, especially with my 3 year old daughter. I also like watching Korean dramas and swimming.

I still watch Spongebob Squarepants! And I really love grocery shopping. I do it once or twice a week and I consider it as 'me' time - please don't call me boring haha!

Chicken adobo - my favourite!

I would bring a knife, water purifier and a picture of my daughter.

The Big Bang Theory. I'm still replaying their video clips! And Young Sheldon - I can't get enough of it!

Coffee of course - can't start a day without it!

2 years and 2 months.

Accountant.

Spending the majority of the work day analysing, collecting, compiling and evaluating financial data. Just numbers!

Having a better understanding of finances and a lot of opportunities for advancement.

I like to read books while hanging out at any coffee place and play badminton and computer games.

I am a BTS fan (Army).

Hamburger and fries!

BTS album, gaming console and my phone.

Run BTS (Korean variety show).

Definitely COFFEE!

Close to 2 years!
