I work within the SME market providing a part-time finance director service to growing businesses, helping business owners get on top of their numbers.   I joined the panel as I felt it was important to be more involved with the profession, this allowed me to share both my voice as well as fellow members voices but also to help share the amazing work ACCA is doing all the time to be a forward-thinking thought leader in the profession.   I have expanded my network, helped shaped the activities in the region and developed so many skills/experiences since joining.

Vicki's LinkedIn profile

I currently work in the Housing sector for a community based social housing provider. I got involved in the local ACCA panel because I was looking to grow my professional network and give something back to the accountancy profession. I recognised this need after I was unexpectedly made redundant after 25 years in the NHS before then moving into a completely new business sector for me, Housing.

Helen's bio will be added soon.

Robert's bio will be added soon.

I am a currently a VAT advisor at Grant Thornton UK LLP however I started my career in industry. I joined the panel in the hope to reach out to members and people thinking of becoming members to share experiences and support. Personally from joining the panel I hope to remain engaged with the ACCA and be involved in an idea sharing network.

I run a bookkeeping practice in Bristol, something I started after 16 years as an accountant working in Industry. I got involved with the panel because I wanted to increase my network and I felt I'd started to lose touch with the ACCA such a long time after my exams. I've only been a member of the panel for a short time but it feels like a very exciting time to get involved and to influence some of the local activities so that we can give as much value to our members as possible.
