About me

Hey, I’m Jane!

Grounded in lived experience, I’m down-to-earth to work with. I pool my entrepreneurial, financial and business advisor expertise, gained over 20 years of practical experience, to put you in a stronger position straight away. When you work with me you’ll get clear on what the plan is, how it’ll be implemented and how long it’ll take - so you can start getting excited about the prosperous future of your business.
I worked with Jane as an operations manager in a creative agency and her approach to financial systems and processes was revolutionary - Jane took us from paper based to systemised as well as building a suite of reports that provided key insights to our business!

Engineering & Environmental Sector

Jane arrived in 2019 and completely changed the way we did finance within the group. At the time, we were growing rapidly, and it was becoming obvious that the finance processes needed an overhaul. Jane assessed what we were doing, designed a new set of processes and implemented them.

Alex Bec

It’s Nice That

“Jane has helped us implement tools and processes that give us complete visibility over project finance and cashflow, as well as designing a forecasting document that enables us to see immediately and clearly what every resource decision, overhead change and new project margin does for our profitability and our cashflow.

Nicole Haines

House of Greenland Ltd

I have worked with Jane since 2006 and there isn’t a finance person I trust more in the whole world. She is honest, straight talking, flexible and empathetic. After 17 years and all the highs and lows in between, I now consider her a friend.

Mariana Asprey-Newton

Lamb & Newt

Jane was recommended to us when we started the business and has been a stoic partner throughout our 7-year journey. Jane's approach makes everything simple, straightforward, and easy to understand while still providing the depth of information we needed to make critical decisions.

Lucy Tucker

Fresh Perspectiv Ltd

From the moment I walked into Jane’s office as a new founder in 2006 she made me feel at ease and looked after. Over the course of 17 years and significant growth and expansion, Jane helped me keep a handle on all things financial including the set up and ongoing financial support for our German branch.

Daniel Macaulay

Brandwave Marketing

Jane has seen us through some tough times including Covid and her support has been invaluable to me and my team. she was a valuable member of every board meeting, and as a result, we always knew exactly what the numbers were and could act accordingly.

Andy Phillips

Affordable Granite Ltd

Her flexible and straight forward approach to business finance helped me to fully understand complex financial models and reports and gave me a strategic attitude to creating profitability right from the start. I always felt I could ask her anything and the answers would be absolutely honest, no matter how difficult the questions!

I started Added Perspective after 20 years building accounting firms because I wanted to start working more intimately with my clients again.

My accounting practices have grown and become successful. And the more successful we got, the harder it became to do what I set out to do.

Focusing on SMEs at the beginning of their growth journey, I provide a personalised, flexible and affordable FD service, helping you get to grips with your money and creating a robust finance function that will stand the test of time.

Now, with Added Perspective, things are different

Uniquely hands-on, I work from inside your business alongside your people. I’ll ask the right questions to find and implement, or even design and build, the right solutions.

Personally providing project management and implementation, as well as the on-going support you’d expect from an FD.

And, because I don’t have the overheads of a large practice, and you can access my services on a contract basis that suits you, we can work to a fee that meets your budget.

If you’re looking for a people-focused approach that delivers optimal systems and clear process that your teams understand, as well as improved profitability and the breathing space to get back on purpose, you need an Added Perspective.
