J C M Associates

When they meet me, people will often say I am not a typical accountant, and although I take a great deal of pride in my profession, I do take this as a compliment. I get excited (yes really) when I can get my teeth into a business project and the more conundrums you can throw at me the better. I also talk a lot, as in my view I can't get to know your business unless I get to know you, and it's all about working together at the end of the day.

This drive motivated me to study and complete the ACCA accountancy qualification in 1997 and achieve an MBA with merit in 2002, fuelling my fascination with all things business and systems. More mundanely (although very important), I have worked in the financial side of business since 1983 when I worked for the Family Practitioners Committee helping make payments to all the dentists, doctors, pharmacists and opticians in Lincolnshire.
