BULLIMORES - Key Persons
Having previously worked at large multi-national and small accountancy practices in Surrey over the last 10 years, I have experience in dealing with small and large businesses.
I qualified in 2017 and enjoy dealing with all aspects of accounts and tax matters. I am particularly interested in the technology driven accounting solutions to improve clients' businesses.
Having worked at Bullimores for nearly 20 years, I was delighted to be made a partner. My area of interest is all things tax, but specifically personal, trust and inheritance tax. I am also an authorised individual to be able to offer probate services, including the associated inheritance tax work needed.
I joined Bullimores in 2013 as a trainee accountant and have never looked back.
Elaine Way B.Com BFP FCA Consultant More Elaine Way One of the best reasons for working in a firm of chartered accountants is the opportunity to work for a wide variety of clients of all sizes and having a large range of issues to deal with and problems to solve on their behalf. I can now claim to have more than 40 years' experience of the accountancy profession, dealing with accounts, audit, taxation and company secretarial issues. My main aim is to assist my clients to realise their goals, whether by helping them to grow their businesses in a tax efficient manner, or assisting with a sale, or general planning for succession. My current leisure time is spent looking after my family and exploring the area around my new home in the beautiful South Downs National Park, not forgetting, of course, the many fine local hostelries... ×
Having initially studied modern languages, I came into accountancy by chance but have never looked back. I have experience of working both in practice and in commerce, so I understand what life is like "on the other side" and I always try to see things from the clients' perspective. I joined Bullimores in 2007 and oversee an extremely varied portfolio of clients, which makes life interesting as no two days are ever the same.
Georgina Cruickshank MCIPD HR Manager More Georgina Cruickshank As someone who has always enjoyed people, a career in HR happened rather organically. Over 15 years later, qualified and with a wealth of HR consultancy experience in a variety of industries behind me, I am now proudly part of the Bullimores family. Away from the office, you'll find me charging around after my two children and walking my beloved dog… usually via the local café for a well-needed coffee! ×
Helen Pass BA (Hons), FCA Manager More Helen Pass After studying geography at university, I trained with one of the large four accountancy practices in London. I joined the Bullimores team as a manager in December 2012 having previously worked for two small accountancy practices in Surrey. I enjoy being responsible for a varied portfolio of clients and have 30 years of experience working in the profession and dealing with all aspects of accounts, audit and taxation matters. In my spare time I enjoy reading,gardening, travelling and going to my local leisure centre. ×
A geographer at heart but also a finely tuned chartered accountant who enjoys looking after all shapes and sizes of client and especially assisting charities. I also provide support and advice to the silver community in managing and organising their finances and I am licensed to carry out probate work. I'm a Dorking resident with an extensive knowledge of local footpaths and cuisine.
Nick Boot Llb (Hons), FCA, BFP Partner More Nick Boot I started my career as a trainee at Bullimores and qualified in 1998. After a couple of years working at a multi-national firm, I returned as a senior manager and became partner in 2007. My experience ranges from working with sole traders and start-up businesses to large companies. At Bullimores we ensure that the same respect is given to those beginning their journey or are seasoned entrepreneurs and give the same levels of care, professionalism and friendliness. I married a former colleague whom I met at Bullimores, so as you can imagine the evenings just fly by discussing the latest accounting standards! I am a keen supporter of Crystal Palace football club, but please do call on a Monday even if they have lost again! ×
Not sure how I found Dorking or Bullimores from Ireland, where I qualified as a chartered accountant, but over 25 years later after various time off for good behaviour in the UK, Ireland, Africa and Amsterdam, I am still here. I could say it was my wonderful work colleagues, nice clients or maybe it was just the convenience!
After spending fourteen years working for a small accountancy practice, moving up to accounts senior, I have gained experience working on a wide range of clients' accounts and tax affairs. I joined Bullimores as a manager in late 2012 expanding my management skills and being responsible for a varied portfolio of clients which included pension funds, charities and other business entities. In May 2019 I decided to take on a new challenge and I am now the Office and Payroll Manager for Bullimores.
‘You aren't a typical accountant' is what I usually hear when I tell people my profession. I love to surprise them. Having trained within the Audit department of a large firm, then working as the FD of a British owned company in the shipping Industry in Singapore, I am happy to be back in the UK and appreciate the support and welcome from within Bullimores.
Whilst in Singapore I also established my own multilabel retail brand and for 7 wonderful years I had two stores. This adventure has given me valuable experience associated with the current pressures of running your own business, building a brand, cashflow, social media marketing, staff retention and employment. I now look forward to utilising those years and helping our clients achieve their growth and ambitions.
At home I am a mother of two very cheeky girls who keep me on my toes. You'll find me either in my vegetable patch or walking the hills with my husband Stu to find a pub!
