Fleur Lewis

What sets Fleur apart?

Whilst audit is Fleur’s passion, what she really loves is investing time with her clients to truly understand what they are trying to achieve and then collaborating with her colleagues to bring solutions to the table for the longer term. To do this she likes to have regular contact with her clients throughout the year rather than just for the year-end compliance service.

Fleur has a huge enthusiasm for audit and is keen to break down the more traditional views on auditors. She feels the audit team is in an exceptionally privileged place to really get under the skin of the business and bring new insight to management. She is excited about the increased use of technology in audit and keen to explore new ways in which we can further better the audit process.

She has previously worked at a large Blue Chip technology company and therefore understands what it is like to be “on the other side of the fence”.

Whilst technically strong she is also friendly and pragmatic and is genuinely excited to be working with a number of well-known companies in the region. Being South West based her particular expertise is Food and Drink and with this sector being such an important part of the South West economy, Fleur is passionate about working with entrepreneurial and ambitious companies.

She also sits on the IOD South West Committee.
