My Story
The Beginning
Sarah began from very humble beginnings being the first in her family to graduate from university with a degree. Her career started as an international tax accountant, becoming qualified in US and UK tax & accounting. She travelled the world for work, experiencing different cultures and working in various corporate, SME and private practice roles, including a Big 4 accounting firm.
The Fear
Sarah had a family to support and a demanding career at a young age. Finding that her children had severe health problems and disabilities, she decided to end her world travels and move to her home town in Scotland. This massive disruption made Sarah homeless and jobless with her two disabled children. Sarah faced an uphill struggle from rock bottom but vowed to give her family the best life possible.
The Transformation
Through facing fears and consistent progress, Sarah landed her dream job in a Big 4 firm where she excelled, found a home and reunited her family. It was not until the demands of raising disabled children and juggling a demanding career left her with an unfair choice – family or career. Sarah chose family and began her own business. S.E. Tax professionals. Following this, Sarah has gone on to build multiple successful businesses.
The Result
CEO of S.E. Tax Professionals, Member of the Women’s Speakers Association, Director of the Scotland Women’s Business Club and author of Voices of the 21 Century Volume 6. Sarah mentors business owners to build a better business without sacrificing their well-being or profits.
