Chris qualified as an ACCA in 1989 and worked in the financial services sector for 20 years before he set up Acumen Accounting in April 2000. It started as a spare time practice serving IT contractors and other self-employed consultants he met at work. In 2002 he took the plunge and went into full-time practice. He hasn't looked back since.
Svetlana became his assistant in 2005 and they married a year later. She passed her AAT exams in 2011 and proudly received her membership certificate at the AAT awards ceremony in October 2012. Svetlana has become popular with the clients and does the book-keeping for many of them.
Acumen also use the services of various other book-keepers and accountants who help out during busy periods on a self-employed basis and are chosen for their skills and experience in specific areas.
