ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Julie

 

With over 40 years of experience in finance, I’ve worked across various industries—from manufacturing and logistics to pest control, commercial cleaning, franchising, and software. 

I thrive on a challenge, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than bringing order to the chaos that bookkeeping can sometimes be!

Throughout my career, I’ve mentored team members and helped businesses transition from traditional server-based systems to modern, cloud-based software solutions.

For the last decade, I worked as a Finance Manager, where I ran finance departments both solo and as part of a team. This hands-on experience gave me deep insight into bank reconciliations, credit control, suppliers, customers, VAT returns, HMRC compliance (PAYE, NI, Pensions), and payroll.

In 2020, like many others, I found myself furloughed during lockdown. With time on my hands and years of experience under my belt, I decided to formally qualify in bookkeeping. And so, Blu Bookkeeping was born!

The name *Blu* comes from my late Dad, who always called me Blu (a little different from the usual family nickname of Ju!). It felt like the perfect fit for my new business.

Feel free to check out my LinkedIn profile for references from past employers, as well as my full career history.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to working with you!

Julie
