Before establishing Clyne Partners, James amassed a wealth of experience in the world of the large, multinational chartered accounting firm. While it gave him a deep understanding of business and compliance and the principles of client service, it also provided him with the perspective to recognise its shortcomings.

James brings extraordinary energy and insight into every client challenge and his dedicated interest in accounting and taxation obligations creates a relationship with clients that goes beyond what is expected from today’s professional services.
