David Poole

• It's tempting to point to qualifications, building a successful practice or developing new services, but I don't think any of those would be my proudest achievement.
• What gives me the greatest satisfaction is knowing we've made a genuine difference to the people who trust us with their businesses.
• Running a small business can be incredibly lonely. Owners carry responsibility for their staff, customers, families and finances, often without anyone independent to talk things through with.
• I've always wanted williams lester accountants to be somewhere clients can turn for practical advice, honest opinions and reassurance when things get difficult.
• Sometimes that's helping someone understand why they're working harder but making less money. Sometimes it's resolving cash flow problems, planning for growth or helping them make a difficult decision.
• And sometimes it's simply being available at the end of the phone when something has gone wrong.
• I'm particularly proud of the long-standing relationships we've built with clients, many of whom have stayed with us for years and recommended us to others.
• If my proudest achievement is building a firm where business owners feel supported, understood and more confident about their future, I'll be very happy with that.
• To me, that's what being a good accountant is really about.
