Your Trusted Partner for Bookkeeping 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 simplify financial management for businesses. 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 3,000 staff. After passing rigorous exams with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB), I became an Associate Member and secured my first Practice Licence. Over the past decade, I've served over 50 clients, navigating challenges like the pandemic and cost-of-living crises while maintaining long-term relationships.My qualifications include a Self-Assessment Tax certification, a Diploma in Payroll Management, and active ICB membership, which provides ongoing training and peer support. Recognised as a finalist in multiple Luca Awards, including Small Practice of the Year and Payroll Practitioner of the Year, my practice combines technical excellence with a client-centric approach. I prioritise transparency, leveraging my parents' decades of accounting experience and my husband's unwavering support to deliver reliable, tailored financial solutions. My commitment to continuous learning ensures clients receive up-to-date advice on bookkeeping, payroll, tax compliance, and business growth strategies.
