I trained in audit work and subsequently led and managed a large number of company audits before specialising in IT systems work. In this role I acted as an external consultant to clients in retail, financial services, oil and gas and local government.<\/p>\n

The experience gained in this time provided an excellent financial and business grounding essential to much of what I have subsequently done. Working with clients across different sectors allowed me to build an understanding of how many different types of organisation operate: this is of great value to me within my own business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
