Under the staff spotlight this month we have one of our Senior Accountants (and theatrical promoter of biscuits), Emily!
Senior Accountant
Accounts, VAT returns, corporation tax returns. Advising clients on their responsibilities and working with them to ensure they meet their filing deadlines.
Busy! I get a lot of emails, so I try and do those first thing, then I have consultation calls with new clients which I quite enjoy. I can talk for Britain and it really eases the new clients in. Then I get on with my accounts work.
During this time, everyone is struggling. I just try and reassure the clients that Iām here and I care, and Iāll do whatever I can to help.
We get a lot of new business sign ups. Itās daunting starting a new business, so we use the initial consultation call to get to know the client and reassure them. We’ll talk through their responsibilities and deadlines, and just let them know that Iām here to work with and support them.
My Dad has run a small business for many years, so when I ended up working in accounts and saw he was struggling with his duties to HMRC, I stepped in. Based on this, I keep my advice to clients down to earth and comprehensive. I really do have a passion to help small businesses.
The clients are my favourite part of my job. Everyone thinks being an accountant is boring, but I meet so many interesting and diverse businesses.
Colleagues! Again, interesting and diverse, and having that knowledge bank is amazing, I canāt wait to get back to the office to pick all their brains.
Personability. I can chat away to clients and make them feel at ease.
Eastham Woods, and The Mimosa Tea Garden where they have the best ice cream, Iām looking forward to going back there soon.
As a mum I know everyone says their kids and Iām certainly proud of my 2 boys but outside of them, I suppose moving down to the Wirral and driving a van. It was terrifying, but I did it with 2 toddlers and a cat.
Always kind and helpful, and very blunt.
Stephen King ‘If It Bleeds’. Iām dyslexic, so reading is always a challenge but Iāve loved his books since I was a teenager and I enjoy the escape of reading.
My mum, sheās so cool. I make it my life work to try and annoy her for sport and it makes her laugh, but she remains unshakable. She is the kindest and sweetest person I know.
A question I ask everyday, āwhat can I do today to be kind to myself and others?ā Thereās no answer other than just dispense kindness where you encounter the need.
