Qualified as a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA) in 1971, my first assignment as a management accountant being to design the revenue budgeting system for British Rail, following which I spent two years with New World Gas Cookers initially as Management Accountant, then Works Accountant, where I also gained my second professional qualification as a Chartered Company Secretary (ACIS). Following two years rising through the ranks of British Steel's audit division I was appointed Head of Finance and Administration for their Refractories division, left to work in Saudi Arabia as a Chief Accountant for an American corporation and on return to the UK was appointed Chief Accountant at Dunlop's Industrial Hose division.
1980 time for a career change. Starting my own retail and wholesale company with a single shop taking £10,000 p.a. within a few years the business had half a dozen outlets, employees into double figures and sales heading towards that magic £1 million pound mark. It wasn't particularly profitable at times and in the early 90's I came back to accountancy taking numerous assignments across a whole range of finance projects including designing a European sales accounting system for an international corporation, installing Oracle accounting modules and a couple of years developing a treasury management system for a major UK bank.
Following a four year spell as Finance director for a communications company I semi-retired in 2000 earning a part-time income from my long term hobby, ornithology, supplementing my income from several industrial companies preparing their annual financial accounts.
 2006 has marked yet another career change, DIY Accounting, designing accounting systems on excel spreadsheets and in capacity of a chartered company secretary also as a company formation agent..

Interests and Hobbies:
DIY Accounting software, payroll software have all been designed by myself. Should you have a question relating to either the accounting software, book keeping or the payroll software then it will be myself who will answer your questions directly.
Personal interests are limited although I have a lifelong interest in ornithology, have kept parrots and spent many weekends searching the countryside bird watching. General interest in natural history.
