Growing up in an environment immersed in theatre, film, and finance, the foundation for becoming a production accountant was always there – I just didn’t realise it was a career until later. My grandmother and father have been deeply involved in the performing arts, and we were all encouraged to participate from an early age. For me, it was the behind-the-scenes work that was most appealing – from throwing oranges at the pantomime, freezing on the docks for a Johnny Depp film, to running up and down the BT Tower for GMTV’s ‘Get Up And Give’ appeal. These experiences, alongside my formal accountancy qualifications, have given me a unique and varied education in the world of production.
