Our Team
Melissa Curran
Director
I set up the business in 2007 with a strong desire to help business owners sort out their finances - I saw too many people getting into a mess and I wanted to make life easier for them and help them grow and develop their businesses. With many years experience working in various accounting roles it became the obvious route to set up my own business and I started to work with a few small businessess in my local area and before long we were getting recommendations from existing clients and other finance professionals and my business has grown steadily.
