  • ValueAdd EmmaJ

    Emma Jauncey

    Client Finance Manager

    Emma just loves the variety of a week’s work at Value Add. As a highly experienced bookkeeper her day might be spent collating a VAT return for a consultancy company, sorting through invoices or doing a year end summary for an e-commerce or high street shop.
    She might even be offering calm professionalism for a client who’s in a bit of a pickle with their numbers.
    Whether it’s being given complete responsibility for a client’s books, or developing a deep working relationship, Emma takes it all in her stride.
    She can also be found striding out around her local area with her dog Chopper, and as an apprentice gardener she’s adopting an experimental approach. Once indoors, Emma enjoys nothing better than relaxing with a good Netflix documentary.

    As a natural-born people person, Christine loves to build proper relationships with Value Add clients, always aiming to put people at their ease.
    Spare time is spent on the important but simple stuff like eating out, shopping and walking with family and friends.
