Trudi Perry FCA, HSP Nicklin Manager

trudi.perry@nicklins.co.uk

After qualifying at another local firm, I joined the Nicklins team in 2006. I was based at the HSP Nicklin branch where I continued to work on accounts and audits, but was also introduced to medical accounts. I quickly found that this healthcare work suited me and that I really enjoyed working closely with Practice Managers to understand the NHS systems and the intricate work needed in profit splits and analysing income streams.

By 2009 the increasing client base meant that I could solely work with the medical clients, enabling me to fully develop my knowledge of the healthcare sector. As a result my average day can involve a whole variety of jobs, ranging from overseeing accounts preparation of the surgery accounts, superannuation, liaising with practice managers about bank loans, or preparing statistical analysis. Whatever my day entails, my main aim to ensure that I am available and approachable for clients to contact, whatever the reason for the call.
