Hello I’m Ian, I have had a role in accountancy and tax for over 30 years. That sounds quite depressing in a way doesn’t it? I enjoy it immensely though. I am acutely aware of the financial pressures and continual issues that businesses face in the commercial sector, having spent a 10 year spell in industry myself. I like to think that I work for clients in foreseeing those pressures and doing everything that I can at my end to reduce some of the tension they create. I am qualified to deal with accountancy and tax. I do not have

Hello I’m Geraldine, Well, where do I start? I have been an accountant since 1977, you are welcome to keep that to yourself though! I worked at Spooners, later Atkinsons accountants, until 2011 when I made the move to ABC. Summing that decision up is simple, I love the place and everyone in it. ABC is a team of dedicated, fun, down to earth people. I already feel at home! I will not bore you with the depth of my experience, it is safe to say that I can handle just about anything you throw at me. And if I

Hi I’m Dru, I am fairly new to the ABC crew and never did I think I would be training to become an accountant. Having previously studied criminology at The University of Lincoln, and while I loved the course I decided in my final year that it wasn’t what I wanted to spend my life doing. Like so many graduates I secured a position in retail after trialing various other jobs, after being stuck in a rut for 5 years I realised that I could do so much more. I have known Belinda since I was little and saw her

Hi I’m Lianne, Up until a year ago I never thought about a career in accounting, however after working at my previous job at Tesco for many years I realised I was ready for a change. I wanted to put my problem solving & customer service skills to good use. After seeing this job advertised & seeing what a crazy bunch of people I would be working with I knew this was the job for me. Belinda offered me the job & I haven’t looked back since! It was a scary prospect going back to college after so many years

Hi I’m Ben, I may be one of the newest recruits to the ABC Accounting Services team but I already feel at home in the role as part of the wonderful team we have here. I have trialed a few areas in my career from factory to power stations but I have always found an interest in number crunching which is why I was glad when offered the role. Since being here I have undertaken the AAT level 2 in accounting at Lincoln college which has broadened my knowledge. I hope in the next two years on this course I

Hi I’m Tracy, Belinda and I go back a long way (almost 30 years) and we have tap danced together for a big chunk of that time as well as meeting through the accounting industry in the days of manual trial balances and analysis paper! I took a break from office work to bring up my family and when the time was right ABC was the obvious choice for me and I joined the admin team just over a year ago. The office is busy, buzzing and fast paced and I love the atmosphere and the clients who pop in

Hi I’m Sylvia, My role as Office Manager is one that is very varied and requires a high level of multi-tasking, juggling the demands of a busy office environment. It is my job to ensure the needs of the clients are met along with the needs of the team. I started working in an accountancy practice in Leeds as PA to the senior partner in 1979 after attending Park Lane College in Leeds. However, after a number of years I decided I needed adventure and left Britain to travel. I subsequently spent 10 years as self-employed in the fashion industry,

Hi I’m Antony, The truth is I have always had a head for figures. I like to solve numerical problems and there has always been something about answers reinforced with figures that has a hefty logic to it for me. Having read that you are probably thinking that I was born an accountant and in many ways I would have to agree…but I was once an owner of a pub so there is hope for me yet! It was during my time as a business owner that I learnt basic bookkeeping and payroll which led me on to study for the

Hi I’m Belinda and ABC Accounting Services is my baby! I am not sure how I would sum up my journey as an accountant, a business owner and a woman who gives a damn about other people’s problems. So far it has been exhausting, exhilarating, stressful, euphoric, a lot of hard work and extremely rewarding. ABC was founded because I cared about clients and I thought I could do more to support their journeys through the tough and the triumphant times. My business is about cost effective, down to earth advice and support with a sprinkle of laughter and frivolity
