Sharon Hall
Sharon started working for the company in 1998 as an office junior/receptionist (although quite possibly the worst receptionist we've ever had as she refused to answer the phone for the first 3 weeks!). After working part time for a number of years while at university, she qualified as a certified chartered accountant in April 2007 and was then appointed a director in June 2010.
Sharon specialises in business start ups, accounts preparation, audit and personal tax but has experience and a broad knowledge of all aspects of the practice and deals with a wide range of clients in different sectors.
