My early career was in Insurance (I was an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute - ACII - by examination - part distinction) which took me via a Unilever subsidiary to West Africa. Since then I have been involved in the financial side of my own companies. Prior to retirement I was a member of the International Association of Bookkeepers. I am an extremely proficient accountancy practitioner with old-school skills allied to modern practices and use of most accountancy software such as Sage Cloud TAS VT. I am reliable and make the most efficient use of time but with an easy-going nature.
    Area Covered: Book-Keeping


    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Summary: As an 18 year old I was quickly promoted by Royal Insurance to a District Inspector for Lincolnshire having passed my ACII (Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute) exams (part with distinction) at an age when I was not entitled to use the title (age 21). After a brief period with an Insurance Broker I joined Northern Assurance (part of Unilever's subsiduary United Africa Company) as a Manager in West Africa, based in Sierra Leone.
    During six years in Sierra Leone I made contacts with business associates and government departments to form my own business trading with West Africa. For the next twenty years I enjoyed a profitable trading relationship with West Africa mainly with Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
    Back home I invested in the European Golf Championship and in 1981 became it's Chief Executive
    Under my stewardship the sponsorship of the tournament increased from 10 major sponsors (in 1981) to 280 at it's peak in 1989 during which the company moved from loss to profit on the back of a £3m turnover.
    Following a further ten years in Golf Club Management I semi-retired into self employment using the various skills I had acquired over a successful business life. These include accountancy and book-keeping, professional letter writing and some translations. Job Title: Self-employed
    Description: Accountancy, Book-keeping, web design, letter writing, translation

      Can't thank Peter enough for helping me get straight with all my accounts and filing. I was in a right mess and he calmly and efficiently sorted everything out. Will definitely be hiring Peter regularly now to keep my bookkeeping up to date and on track! Thank you :)
