Your Trusted Partner for Accountancy Solutions in Newton Abbot
With over two decades of experience in bookkeeping and accountancy across diverse sectors, I established Busby's Bookkeeping Services in 2014 to provide tailored financial solutions. My career began in petrol station management before transitioning to accountancy, where I honed my skills as an in-house Accounts and Payroll Officer. I expanded my expertise by managing a local office for a national healthcare provider's payroll team, processing payments for thousands of staff. After passing rigorous ICB exams, I became an Associate Member and secured a Practice Licence, later achieving Member status and advanced qualifications in payroll and tax. Recognised through multiple Luca award nominations, including Payroll Practitioner of the Year 2024, I combine technical excellence with personal service.My practice supports over 50 clients through bookkeeping, payroll, self-assessment, and Auto-Enrolment services. Rooted in Newton Abbot, I prioritise local business needs while maintaining national standards. The practice's bee emblem symbolises my dedication, while the poppy honours family influences who shaped my professional journey. Continuous ICB training ensures up-to-date compliance knowledge, and client retention over challenging economic periods demonstrates service reliability. This decade-long practice remains committed to simplifying clients' financial lives through expertise and partnership.
