She has spent 20 years working in various Finance departments, mainly in the Financial Services sector, and has held senior management positions within finance for the last 10 years. During this time she studied for two professional qualifications, starting with the AAT, becoming qualified in 1992, moving onto CIMA, qualifying as a Management Accountant in 2003. She actually passed the exams in 1998 but her daughter also made her appearance that year, so practical experience to obtain her letters came second to sleepless nights and changing nappies!
