Nik is our Administrative Manager who has been with us since 2004, and she will probably be the first person you will have contact with when you call or pop into the office to see us.

Her previous work experience has been with the Civil Service as a Benefits Agency Customer Service Adviser, so she has a broad knowledge of Benefit entitlements.

Nik runs nearly all of our in-house admin, performs basic accounts work. She is online to the revenue a lot of the time so gets new information from HMRC first hand.

Involved in charity work and with no less than four children, Nik is well qualified to keep the rest of us under control here at the Coop! Various medals about to be awarded!- Ed.

David Sweeney joined the Coop in 2007 and took over many of Peter's clients when Peter retired in Feb08.

David brings new experience and skills into the Coop and has impressed us with his understanding of customer businesses, his keen help, efficiency and eye for detail. - Welcome to the team, David.

He has a strong background in providing general, business development and tax advice to the retail, leisure and care sectors, involving sole trader, partnership and limited company structured businesses.

David has moved his focus from children's football coaching to initiating new humanitarian charity projects across the world.

Sue joined the Accountancy Co-operative in August 2000, and is a Member of The AAT. She started in the Assurance Industry and migrated to Accountancy. Sue is now sub-contracted by us and is still very much regarded as part of the team.

Her experience also covers general financial accounting, VAT, PAYE and income tax, and business development for small companies and the self-employed. She is fully familiar with church charities and is an Independent Examiner for other local and regional charities.

Sue was also involved in the set-up of a successful debt-counselling group and also has particular knowledge of Sage and other accounting systems.

Suzie has worked in payroll for many years, understanding that all clients' needs vary immensely and that payroll needs to be accurate.

She learned the ropes and built-up her personal skills and expertise working on payrolls of up to a thousand employees. Suzie then moved into the completely different environment of working with Accountants processing their portfolio of clients' payrolls. Although each payroll may be relatively small, she has developed the additional skill of juggling so as to meet each individual client's requirements from deadlines to reporting, as well as being available to provide support to them and their employees in difficult areas such as maternity leave, Paternal Leave, Real Time Information and dealing with HMRC.

Bobbi (Kennel Club Member)

Bobbi is an important part of the Accountancy Co-operative team, and voluntarily keeps the premises safe and cleans up after (and during) lunches. She's always felt at home in Accountancy, well... actually, anywhere!

She makes an extremely effective door-bell, doubles as a shredding machine during power-cuts and has been known to spit out the odd Tax Inspector who didn't taste as nice as her favourite bone.

Bobbi also sometimes enjoys lots of attention and group therapy sessions, long walks in the countryside and socialising with other like-minded skye terriers.
