Sarah Males - Director
Sarah started her accountancy career in practice and then moved into industry where she gained valuable experience and saw life in business from an internal perspective. Sarah feels that this experience helps her to understand the needs of clients more clearly.
More recently, Sarah has worked within a government-funded environment which has added to the wealth of experience gained working within different sized organisations, from small owner managed businesses to plc's, over the past 10 years.
Sarah lives in Bedfordshire, but travels regularly to Nottingham to watch the Panthers. Sarah enjoys running, dislikes golf immensely and manages to devote some of her valuable time to 'helping in the community'.

Barbara has worked in a variety of sectors which include both commercial and public sector organisations ranging from small retail outlets to major government contracts. Working as a consultant Barbara is passionate about planning for success and specialises in Business and Strategic Planning.
Barbara lived in London for 25 years but has now found her ideal cottage in Bedfordshire and, when time and weather allow, loves pottering around in her garden growing roses.
