I was a Line Producer and Production Manager for 25 years, working on un-scripted TV, dramas and low budget feature films. I've worked on horror and action films - including war dramas - with armoury, military equipment, special effects and stunts.

In 2019, I moved from production management into production accounting and spent 4 years as an Accounts Assistant before becoming a Production Accountant in 2023. This year, I’m working on a large-scale reality relationship series in filming in Croatia for Channel 4; a big budget police reality series filming in Mexico for A&E Network in the US; and UK regional crime series for BBC.

I am experienced with variable multi-currency productions, US payroll & 1099s tax returns. Most of the time I am working with fully remote teams based abroad. I have 5 years experience with Sage 50Cloud and Equals, and have recently started using Xero.

Completed the ScreenSkills Accounts Industry Transfer Programme in 2024.
