AMANDA JARVIS
Partner

Having successfully obtained a BTEC in Business and Finance, I was keen to pursue a career in accountancy. I learnt the ropes at a small firm before moving to a medium sized firm. During the 6 years I remained at the firm I developed an expertise in VAT and Payroll matters something which I have continued to build on to this day. I became AAT qualified in 1989 and ATT qualified (tax equivalent) in 1991.

In 1990 I became partner's assistant to Paul Waite starting what is now an 18 year association. This role got me involved in a wider range of work particularly a greater exposure to corporate work including business plans, forecasts and management accounts. I joined Paul one month after he formed Aspen Waite and being involved from the start has involved me in a wide range of work as well as being confronted with all the day to day problems of a growing business. This has stood me in good stead in terms of offering advice to my clients.

In 1995 I became a partner of our then small business division becoming a full partner shortly after and an affiliated member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. I am the firms designated responsible individual for investment business. I have always been IT literate and am continuing to develop my skills being responsible for all internal IT while being the partner responsible for our associate IT consultancy and software companies. I also have high level Sage expertise and find this is a service of increasing use to clients.

I have played a full role in helping the firm to expand offering a good balance to Paul and a good honest practical down to earth approach. I am now the firms Deputy Senior Partner and the Regional Partner for the Somerset offices. My forte is in offering an enthusiastic, proactive hands on service offering a full range of general practise services.

Outside of work I have a teenage son and a horse to look after. I enjoy most things to do with horses as well as diving, gardening and reading.
