Bio
Rebecca Foulkes
Jo was my manager for two years and within that time developed me from an Accounts Assistant to a Commercial Finance Manager. Without Jo's mentoring, support and expertise I don't think I would have been able to make that progression in my professional career. Despite Jo's workload and day to day pressures she always had enough time for me, whether that be to embed my understanding of key balance sheet reconciliations, build my confidence in presenting financial statements or simply being an emotional support during busy periods of the year. I cannot recommend Jo enough, aside from being an outstanding manger, she's also a great accountant who takes pride in all aspects of her work .

I recommend Jo and the work she did with me on VAT. I worked with her for a number of years on a few different tasks but mainly looking at VAT and VAT returns. I could guarantee that any work Jo passed over to me was accurate and had been completed to a high standard. Jo is extremely efficient, her overall work is excellent and she also has a good eye for detail and an ability to spot risks, errors and potential VAT savings.
