My focus is on accuracy, transparency, and efficiency—ensuring that every client receives clear records, timely reports, and dependable support.
I understand that managing accounts can feel overwhelming, which is why I provide personalized services designed to simplify the process. From tax preparation and invoice generation to payment tracking and VAT returns, I tailor solutions that free you to focus on growth while I handle the details.
Clients value my commitment to excellence and the trust I build through open communication. Over the years, I’ve supported consultants, and established businesses by streamlining their financial systems and offering reliable guidance.
My goal is always the same: to give you peace of mind knowing your bookkeeping is in safe hands.
Southworth Signature Books isn’t just about numbers—it’s about helping you achieve your goals with clarity and confidence.
With over 30 years of administrative experience and +20 years in healthcare, I have built a career marked by leadership, efficiency, and continuous improvement. I spent 19 years supporting secondary mental health services in Wigan and currently serve as Admin Manager for Wirral Community Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust, where I oversee staff supervision, performance reviews, and service development.
My skills span report writing, process redesign, financial management, and project coordination, with proven success in implementing systems such as SharePoint and managing EHCP requests under strict SEND deadlines.
Known for my interpersonal skills, empathy, and discretion, I foster collaborative team environments through daily huddles, clear communication, and staff engagement in decision-making. My leadership style emphasizes sensitivity in healthcare settings, safeguarding, and GDPR compliance.
Past roles, including Divisional Information Officer, gave me valuable experience in data migration, large-scale staff communication, training delivery, and project management.
I consistently demonstrate strong time management, adaptability, and a commitment to service improvement, working effectively both independently and as part of a team.
