MEET THE TEAM
TIM HINES
I qualified as an accountant with a small firm delivering audit, accounts preparation, management accounts and tax advice for businesses ranging from small sole traders to multimillion turnover manufacturing businesses with international sales. After that I moved to KPMG, one of the big four firms, in the Cayman Islands. There we supported hedge funds, captive insurance vehicles and a range of local businesses including housing, hospitality and the stock exchange.
When I returned to the UK I moved out of practice and worked for several multinational businesses, Kellogg, Heinz, Joy Global, before moving on to a small private equity backed entity and then into the drinks business to the home of Lambrini and Whitley Neil.
Throughout my career I have looked for a breadth of experience to build my knowledge and capabilities.
Now I want to use that experience to help small and medium sized companies to make the most of their financial information and to comply with the rules and requirements of running a business. As your accountant, I will not just deliver your financial statements but will help you to use that information in ways that will improve your business and your results.
