Alistair Porter qualified with the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) in June 2012. He started by working evenings and weekends as a sole trader whilst holding down a full time job as a finance manager of a local company. His client base grew steadily and he realised there was potential in running his own practice full time. As such in December 2014 Orwell Accountants Ltd was incorporated and he started trading full time from his home.
