Meet the Team

Hello & Welcome

My name is Claire

A Chartered Management Accountant and Tax Adviser by profession and an enthusiastic hiker and runner in between!

I aim to listen to clients about what they want to achieve by engaging with an accountant, and provide practical solutions.

Whether you are a business looking for your annual accounts and tax return or an individual wanting to look at your inheritance tax planning, I will listen and provide results with a excellent customer service.

Please get in contact and discuss how I can help you with your accountancy and tax needs.

Assistant Accountant

Kate Williams

Kate is restarting her accounts journey with us at Forth Accountancy. (YAY!!)

Having spent most of her career as a Cost draftsman with a firm of Solicitors, Kate brings attention to detail and a great deal of business acumen to the firm.

Kate's unusual introduction to the firm was a coincidental chat over a scaffold tower. It just goes to show that fate intervenes when most needed!

A local to Mevagissey, Kate spends her down time at motorsports events, supporting her husband, and getting some Vitamin Sea with the children at the beach.

Accountant

Suzanne Lawson

Suzanne is a Chartered Certified Accountant who has worked both in industry and practice bringing a wide range of accounting knowledge.

A spreadsheet lover she enjoys organising and ensuring that all aspects of your accounts are compliant and as straightforward as they can be.

Outside of the office she is kept busy with her young family. During the summer months you will find Suzanne on the cricket field either coaching youth cricket in St Austell or playing for the ladies softball team.

Partner

Steve Forth

Steve, Claire's husband, is a part time contributor to the firm.

An experienced FD and having worked in manufacturing and technology, Steve is a great sounding board for ideas and planning.

Steve is particularly fond of good grammar and is our chief editor of blogs, reports, and other written materials.

Another keen outdoors person, Steve's preference is towards walking football, and when not injured (which is a lot) takes part in walking football with Tregony, Truro, and Gorran Haven.
