Since 2001 we have been building a professional services firm that can respond to the challenges our clients face in today’s world of business. I am proud of the fact that Goodman Jones has great people who work hard to provide an outstanding service to our clients and enjoy coming to work each day. I became a Partner in 1981 and continued to work with a wide variety of businesses and their senior management. Over time I became interested in not only the commercial success of my clients, but also the wider issues that impacted their businesses. I joined Goodman Jones in 1971 as a trainee, or Articled Clerk as it was called in those days. I liked it so much I stayed! Over time I progressed to Audit Senior and then Manager.

  The IT story started on the 1980’s. At that time, accounting systems didn’t produce statutory accounts. I saw a gap in the market and put together a team that would change the way things were done. We wrote software that enabled an accounting system to produce statutory accounts. This was so successful that we began to distribute it commercially and eventually sold the rights. The concept is still widely used today. That experience lead to the formation in 1999 of Fitzrovia IT Ltd, headed by Daren Oliver, who was part of the original team. Fitzrovia IT now provides professional IT solutions and support to small and medium sized businesses. Show less
