A fully-qualified accountant, Sue set up Net Accountancy with the aim of making her business different. She has built up the business on her personal philosophy of treating every client as an individual and taking a strong interest in the success of each of their businesses. Before setting up Net Accountancy, Sue worked for several other practices in the Nottingham area, gaining valuable experience in working with small and medium sized enterprises. Sue especially enjoys working with owner-managed businesses because of the passion they have for what they do.

Steve has built up many years of experience working with accountancy and tax planning organisations. His involvement in defending tax avoidance schemes against the Specialist Investigations arm of HMRC has given him a valuable insight into what HMRC considers as acceptable tax planning, and as blatant tax avoidance. Steve uses this specialist knowledge for our clients’ benefit when implementing and documenting their tax planning strategies. As Net Accountancy’s Staff Manager, Steve is also a key member of our management team and looks after staff development and training needs.
