The Team

Lorraine Kirtland

Bookkeeping and payroll

I've been working for Lara for 4 years now and can honestly say I love coming to work.
I have always enjoyed bookkeeping and last year passed my AAT level 4 qualification after taking the leap to return to college.
I enjoy getting to know our clients and working with them to take some of the pressures out of accounting for them.

Outside of work I love nothing more than a weekend away in my caravan with my family and dogs.

Lara Trinder

Director

I've been a bookkeeper working with small businesses for almost 25 years. I am motivated by the process of getting to know my clients and their businesses and working with them to build an accounting system that works for their individual needs.

My aim is to provide a service that demystifies the accounting process and enables business owners who aren't necessarily 'financially minded' to feel in control of their business finances.

Ross Harding

Bookkeeping and payroll

I am AAT level 4 qualified and have started my ACCA studies to become charted. I started working with Lara in 2023 from home from Birmingham but have since relocated down to the English Riviera... well Kingsteignton. 

I am a strong believer in making things simple and not overcomplicating/overwhelming with industry terminology.


Kelly Watkins

Administration

I run the admin section and may be the first member of the team you meet as I am responsible for the onboarding process and making sure that our records are up to date for anti money laundering purposes.

I also manage our digital filing system so if you are looking for an old invoice or receipt I can almost certainly find it for you.

Fanny

Security (retired)

I let everyone know we have visitors, even if it's just the bin men, or a cat.

James Elderfield

Operations

I am helping to put the Digital in Digital Bookkeeping, working to get the most out of all the software we use, as well as working with AI Automation to speed up our own internal processes.
I also am the (unofficial) number 1 consumer of Chicken Caesar Wraps in the Bovey Tracy area.
