Meet The Team

We have worked together for several years now with our personalities complimenting each other to provide a strong, dependable, and reliable team which I am very proud of.

Maria

After working hard to bring up my four children I gained an accounting degree at Anglian Ruskin and went on to become a ACCA qualified accountant in 2005.

I gained my accounting experience by training with larger firms and opened my own practice in 2018 and have never looked back.

Meeting clients and building a professional relationship based on trust and mutual respect is vitally important to me, to be able to give the best services and advice.

Simon

I started working in practice in 1987 and have worked for a few larger practices over the years where I had a varied range of experience. My specialisms are the implementation of computerized systems; Corporate Tax; Construction Industry and VAT. I have been working in my current role since January 2018.

Helen

Having spent 35 years in accountancy practices there is not much I haven’t seen or heard! I honestly believe there is no such thing as a “silly” question so I am always more than happy to share my knowledge and experience in order to provide clarity and reassurance. I’d like to think that I’ve established a good relationship with our client’s and it’s always lovely when they pop in and we’ve got time for a catchup and a cuppa.

Shang

I gained my Accounting Advance Diploma qualification in 2014, one week before my second child was born. I have worked in accountancy for over eight years and have the responsibility of looking after our clients’ bookkeeping and VAT. I also prepare annual accounts, corporation tax and personal tax.

I am the first point of contact for any Xero bookkeeping software advice.

I have been working with the team in Richardson & Co for several years and we have established a professional yet friendly working environment.

Lucy

I deal with the administration side of the business. My role includes booking in records, VAT preparation, bookkeeping, credit control and raising invoices in additional to other administration work. I have been working in this role for the past 5 years and am continually learning and developing new skills.

Debbie

I previously worked for one practice starting in 1983 as an office junior and progressing to management level in the tax department.  How things have changed!

For many years I have specialized in the preparation and processing of personal tax returns and thrive on the challenge of meeting HMRC submission deadlines.

I enjoy communicating and meeting new people and building professional relationships.  I like being part of a team so look forward to having many years at Richardson & Co.
