Your Financial Partner
A Journey Through My Finance Career
I know what it’s like to start from scratch because I’ve done it myself. CWABC was built from my own experience of setting up a business, so I understand how overwhelming the numbers can feel.
With over 30 years of experience in finance across legal and professional services, I now focus on helping small businesses across Tonbridge and Kent keep things simple, organised, and under control.
1993 – 2000 | My Journey Into Finance Began
I started my career in finance at IPC Media, working as a cashier and learning the foundations of payments, reconciliations, and day-to-day financial operations.
2001 – Broadening My Experience
I moved into roles with Hempsons and Winckworth Sherwood LLP, gaining experience in purchase ledger, client banking, transfers, reconciliations, and reporting. This gave me a strong grounding in both corporate and client money handling.
2005 – 2016 | Chief Cashier, Prolegal Solicitors
Over ten years I developed my expertise in banking, reconciliations, purchase payments, and audits, supporting the firm’s finance manager and working closely with external auditors.
2016 – Present | Head of Finance, Tinklin Springall Solicitors
Today I’m responsible for the firm’s full financial functions — from budgeting and payroll to VAT, reconciliations, and compliance with the Solicitors Accounts Rules (SARs). I also provide training for all staff on the financial systems we use.
2021 – Present | Founder & Licensed Accountant, CWABC
I founded CWABC to provide small businesses, sole traders, and landlords across Kent with clear, flexible, and jargon-free bookkeeping and accounting services. My goal is to take the stress out of finance so clients can focus on running and growing their business.
