I am a partner at Simmons Gainsford LLP, having joined in 1991, and being promoted to Partner in 1994. I have a diverse portfolio of audit clients covering the property, publishing and insurance sectors. I head up our Russian desk and work with a number of clients from Russia and Eastern Europe. I am also Director of both Simmons Gainsford HR Ltd and Simmons Gainsford Resources Ltd.

Previous to Simmons Gainsford I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1985 with a city practice, spending the following 5 years working for an international Chartered Accountancy firm in their London and St Albans offices.
