Our Senior Team
Melanie Curtis
CEO / Founder
I qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant almost 24 years ago! I started my accounting career in industry, lastly as a Financial Controller for a printing company some 20+ years ago, so I know all about running finances for larger businesses and the challenges that they have.
After having my first child I moved from industry into practice and worked for traditional accountancy firms working with small and medium sized businesses.
Around 15+ years ago I decided to start my own accountancy business as I wanted to offer something refreshingly different to business owners. My vision was to give a superb service to my clients, one that is friendly and reliable and not starchy and staid like other traditional (boring!) accountancy practices. I have a relaxed and friendly style and like to speak plain English to clients and not technical jargon. I truly believe that it’s so important that business owners have an understanding of their numbers, accounting is not a black art as some people believe it to be!
Over the years I have built up a fantastic very loyal client base (many of whom have been with me since day 1!), a brilliant team and we have gone from offering normal accountancy services to a full wrap around service for clients enabling them to reach their true business and personal potential.
15 years on I still love what I do! I am passionate about enabling business owners to reach their true potential and so build better businesses. Nowadays I also run accountability coaching sessions for clients as well as Business Development events.
Nothing stays the same around here! I am always looking at ways to improve and innovate and so drive all of our businesses forward and to success.
Personally, I love long hot sunny days! I love spending time with my family and socialising with friends. I like to travel when I can and also, I like growing my own vegetables!
