Corporate Services

In one of my previous roles, I spent 18 years working in the banking sector in Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire, where I worked with a variety of businesses and I was trained well in the importance of customer service.

I have been working with Ellacotts since August 2020 in the Payroll Department. On a day-to-day basis, I process payrolls for various clients, ranging from farms to engineers. These can be weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or annual payrolls.

My day normally consists of preparing accounts, tax returns and tax computations for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders. However, I am involved in being on-site with clients, completing audits for some of our corporate clients and academy trusts.

My day-to-day duties involve preparing accounts for a range of small to medium businesses including sole traders, partnerships and companies, as well as completing corporation tax returns.

I have worked in the banking sector and various private companies, but prior to Ellacotts, I worked in a London accountancy practice for 13 Years as their bookkeeper.

The two I do most regularly are that of preparing accounts – this is the main part of my role at Ellacotts. I draft annual accounts for a variety of businesses that are in different industries on a daily basis. I also prepare corporation tax – whilst preparing clients’ accounts I also prepare corporation tax returns for them.

My typical work day involves me preparing annual accounts, VAT returns and tax returns for individuals and companies. The variety of work I am exposed to means I am constantly challenged and always learning, while also gaining valuable experience.
