CEO

Accounting is evolving faster than ever, and learning needs to evolve with it. At AccountingCPD, our mission is to help accountants stay ahead of change, not just keep up.

We’re building a learning experience that empowers professionals to adapt, lead, and grow – ready for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

I’m Nicola. I take care of new business developments and licence holder experience. If you’re looking to take the hassle out of CPD for your organisation or team, I can help with that.

I am generally found in the Yorkshire countryside with either my dog or my horse.

I’m Katy. I focus on developing the learning experience, turning content from authors into effective online CPD for our many update programmes and pathways.

In my spare time I read. A lot. I also love hill walking, aerial yoga and ballet.

At AccountingCPD, we believe learning should do more than keep you compliant. It should help you grow into the accountant you want to be. Because when accountants keep learning, they build stronger businesses, stronger teams, and a stronger profession.

I’m Rachel. I shape and deliver the CPD programme. I research the market and work with authors to make informed decisions about the areas most important to accountants, so our learners are getting the CPD they need.

I love running, cooking, and reading novels.
