Bio
Ewelina Mincewicz
I like to work with Catherine, available at any time for me. Always has an answer. Professional, easy going. You can feel that finance is her passion. New technology as apps she introduce to our company, so no more paper works :)

Without Katarzyna (Catherine) I wouldn't have started my own business. She put me at my ease, I got to know, like, and trust her and, most importantly, she simplified everything for me. Ahead of the curve with "making tax digital" and I can't believe how much she has streamlined everything for me. All my fear is gone. I know the word "passionate" is very over-used these days but you really CAN see the passion in Katarzyna for what she does. She truly CARES about her clients and I love that. Highly recommended? Absolutely.

I first met Catherine at a Barclays Bank seminar in June 2015, where she was a guest speaker. She was like a breath of fresh air in the accounting industry, and she has been my accountant ever since. !! Catherine is pro-active, not re-active, and we hold regular meetings to improve my business. She recently introduced me to the Xero accounting system, and I can now manage my accounts on a daily basis. I would highly recommend Catherine to other business users.
