Here’s 60 seconds with our expert (name)
Name: Sarah
Area of expertise: Accountancy, business and finance administration
When & why did you join Get Ahead:
I joined Get Ahead as I wanted to use more of my accounting background and skills to help small businesses grow. I have been fortunate enough to grow my own business and now that is established, I would like to help others. I really enjoy working with a variety of clients to help more small businesses.
What did you do before you joined Get Ahead:
I qualified as a chartered accountant many years ago and have worked in various sectors. More recently I have been developing my preschool business which I purchased with 2 teaching friends 8 years ago.
Career highlight to date:
Back in my FCA days I worked on a few high-profile insider dealing cases, including some criminal prosecutions. I was also part of a team that won an appeal at the High Court, to ensure FCA had power to prosecute offences of money laundering.
More recently for my preschool I was incredibly proud that we received a rare OUTSTANDING rating for our first ever Ofsted inspection.
Personally, I am immensely proud to have been Chair of a local charity and helped to raise over £300,000 in 11 years.
Plans for the future:
I look forward to watching my preschool business flourish and help many local families. I would also like to use my skills and experiences to help small business grow and help business owners achieve their professional goals.
