I draw on over 12 years of experience in working with not-for-profit organisations. Much of this experience was gained with Sayer Vincent, a charity-specialist audit and consultancy firm. I have also worked on secondment to Save the Children UK’s internal audit department and previously with Ernst & Young in Poland.
I am a qualified chartered accountant and an associate member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and an affiliate member of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
With Sayer Vincent I worked with a wide range of organisations both large and small on internal and external audit assignments. My work with international development clients included Save the Children, Oxfam, HelpAge International, Action on Disability & Development. I am also a member of the finance committee of YCare International.
