    Karen Lewis

    FCCA, BSc, Xero certified advisor

    Favourite mathematical formula: Differential equations and sound waves.
    The best thing about working with figures: Figures are black and white – they are either right or wrong with no in between and there’s nothing better than balancing a bank account.
    Pet hate: The month of January, specifically 31 January is the worst day of the year
    Pet love: Introducing clients to Xero and see them realise how much easier bookkeeping really can be. Ticking the right boxes on the correct forms to bring everything together for the best outcome.

    In her spare time, Karen enjoys walking, rugby (can you believe she used to play in one of the first ladies teams in Norfolk in her childhood?), visiting the theatre, watching Wimbledon, and cooking anything spicy.

     

    Stephen Lewis

    Level II AAT, working towards a Xero-certified qualification

    The best thing about working with figures: Mathematics is in the blood, so much so, Stephen passed his GCSE one year early
    Pet hate: Too much spicy food (Karen has a habit of insisting on it)
    Pet love: Darts, darts and more darts – four local teams to be precise

    In his spare time, Stephen is a fan of many sports, including walking and cycling. He enjoys listening to music (proper music with traditional instruments) and insists that cooking needs to be accompanied by a glass of wine.

     

    Kelly Mitchell

    Level 2 AAT/ Working towards Level 3 AAT/ Xero Certified

    Favourite Mathematical Equation: Trigonometry – reminds her of the good old days back in high school

    The best thing about working with figures: Maths is not subjective – you are either right or wrong. There are no grey areas and the feeling you get when you are right is worth every mistake you make in the process.
    Pet hate: Fish – she cannot stand the smell or the taste
    Pet love: Literally her pet – her dog, Larry

    In her spare time, Kelly loves adventuring the great outdoors with her dog, playing tennis at the local tennis club and going to the theatre. She was once a bit of an actress herself in a previous life and loves everything about performing!

    Jane Sedrak

    Studied at the University of Life

    Jane has worked on the admin side for accountants/financial planners all her working life.

    Pet hate: Bad spelling and grammar
    Pet love: Travel – preferably the adventurous kind! Highlights have included backpacking around Australia, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, white water rafting the Zambezi river and trekking to Timbuktu. Jane even met her Egyptian husband while hiking in the Sinai Desert!

    In her spare time, Jane helps to run the local Scout Group, sings in a choir, plays tennis and enjoys camping and watersports with her family.

    • Kelly Nation - Personalised Nation

      We have been working with Karen for a little under 4 years now and she has changed our opinion on the way we thought accountants work.

      Karen has provided us with support setting up, transferring and learning how to use our accounting software Xero. She has also provided us with bookkeeping services when we have needed them but most of all she has always communicated with us. There have never been any nasty surprises for HMRC or huge amounts of amendments needed prior to our VAT returns because I have always been able to seek advice and support with any issues I was unsure of. Karen has also recommended additional tools that can help us plan and manage our cashflow, spends on different projects and advised us on payroll.

      We have loved working with Key Accountancy services and would highly recommend them.

    • Judith Bourne – Workwell Health Services Limited

      I contacted Karen on the recommendation of a business associate. It turned out to be the single best thing I have done for my business in recent years. I can trust Karen implicitly with my business and personal information. She is continually safeguarding my interest and is alert to opportunities that may benefit me.
      I have rarely been so impressed with a provider and would have no hesitation in recommending her. If you engage Karen you can hand over your affairs with complete confidence and have one less thing to worry about.
