Barbara Fawcett

Summary

Responsible for preparing VAT returns, bookkeeping, management accounts, year-end accounts and tax computations for clients. An active role in staff training and supporting junior team members, sharing knowledge and helping to maintain high standards across the practice.

Career Background

I am an AAT-qualified accountant with over 27 years of experience working in an accountancy practice.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, preparing accounts, tax computations, VAT returns, and management accounts. I also have extensive experience in bookkeeping and staff training, which has given me a well-rounded perspective on both the technical and operational sides of finance. 

I pride myself on being thorough, reliable, and easy to work with, delivering accurate, reliable, and timely financial work — and building trusted relationships with the clients I support. Whether you're a small business needing day-to-day support or a growing company looking for accurate financial reporting, I’m here to help make your numbers work for you.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I’m passionate about health and fitness. I regularly attend my local gym, taking part in Hyrox-style classes and working one-on-one with a personal trainer to stay strong and active.

I’m also a dedicated supporter of my three children, who are competitive BMX racers. They compete at Regional, National, European, and even World level, which means we spend much of our summer months travelling as a family across the UK, Europe, and occasionally further afield to attend events. It’s an exciting and rewarding part of our lives that keeps us constantly on the move!

Unusual Fact

Outside of accountancy and family life, I’ve kept close ties to my roots — I grew up on a working family farm with beef cattle and sheep, and to this day, I still help out during the busiest times of the year, especially during haymaking and lambing season. It’s a part of my life that keeps me grounded (and not afraid to get my hands dirty!).

Also, I’ve probably visited more BMX tracks across Europe than tourist attractions — thanks to my kids’ passion for competitive BMX racing! & Our family holidays are rarely typical — we spend most summers on the road, travelling to BMX races across the UK and Europe, from muddy fields to world-class arenas!

Bucket List

To compete in a Hyrox Event (Solo) and purchase a van large enough to convert ourselves into a campervan, then do a summer trip around Europe, not only seeing sights but different cultures – might even pop into a few BMX tracks along the way!

Favourite Place

Whether it’s cheering my kids on at a BMX track, working through a gym session, or helping with lambing on the family farm — my favourite place is anywhere I’m active, connected, and doing something that matters to me.
