Who we are.

Adrian

Director

An award winning Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser, Adrian is just another boring accountant.

In his spare time he flies a Cessna 150 (an instrument and night rated pilot), scuba dives whenever he can (but only in warm water), is a member of the 5am Club and loves to cook. He has a boring taste in cars and drives a BMW i8 (yes, really).

He is a professional Ballroom and Latin dance teacher and together with Debbie runs a small dance business.

And let's deal with the most important question – it is his real name and he was 13 3/4 when the book was published.

Renowned for thinking outside the box, he is known as a problem solver, with an ability to make difficult situations understandable at all levels.

My role is an exciting and innovative role, it spans across business strategy and development. Our key focus is client experience. Quove is a fast-growing entrepreneurial business, with huge ambitions, grounded in core values that align with my own personal values.

Outside of work you will mostly find me attempting to renovate my period property in the wilds of the Suffolk countryside or travelling somewhere new and preferable warm with my daughters.

Debbie

Has enjoyed working in accounts within various sized corporations for over 21 years and in practice for the last 18 years with businesses having a turnover of less than £500k to those having millions. Having worked in both business and practice it has been interesting to see the different perspectives between the two.

Has been known to occasionally be a reluctant passenger in a Cessna 150 (unless lunch and wine is involved). Enjoys scuba diving, where the phone and email hasn’t yet had a chance to survive, and the sharks are friendlier than HMRC. Not yet a member of the 5am Club! Loves to eat her husband’s cooking. Also enjoys music, theatre, sewing, camping with my teenage daughter and discovering new places to eat.

Can’t believe she married someone called Adrian Mole … fortunately the children haven’t read the books, and no, her name was never Pandora!

Also enjoys sorting out the smaller problems that keep businesses ticking over along and providing clients with support.

Beki

My background is in the healthcare industry. Having previously run a busy physiotherapy practice, I joined Quove in 2020.

My role in the business has evolved over time; initially, with the arrival of the pandemic, I assisted with the huge workload incurred by processing furlough claims and dealt with most of the back-office administration.

I now take care of clients' bookkeeping, VAT returns and I run many of our client’s payrolls. I also deal with much of the company secretarial administration; it will be me you hear from when your confirmation statement is due for filing.

Outside of work, I love to spend time with friends and family, especially my little granddaughter who shares my love of nature, gardening and crafting.

Holly

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Kent and then qualified as a teacher a year later. After spending some time in the classroom, I decided to try something completely different, leading me to join the company in April 2024.

At Quove, my job is incredibly varied. If you call or visit the office I will often be your first point of contact, I also help generate social media content, file accounts and tax returns, complete VAT returns, run some payrolls and bookkeeping, among other things.

Troy

I'm a passionate individual with a love for adventure and the thrill of outdoor sports. In my spare time, I enjoy mountain biking, running, and water skiing, and when the winter months roll in, I take my excitement to the track with trackdaying. Cars, boats, travel and baking are some of my greatest interests, and I'm always looking for my next adventure.

Professionally, I have a keen eye for business, having founded a successful super yacht valeting business, working closely with MDs and CEOs. I'm also currently a trainee accountant and have worked my way through AAT Levels, continuing to grow in my career.

I'm always seeking new opportunities to combine my love for business with my passion for adventure and the outdoors.

Lili

Originally from Suffolk and a 2023 Illustration graduate from Norwich University of the Arts, I joined Quove not long after my graduation. Although accounting could not be further from the creative industry I’m used to, my role as Office Administrator allowed me to gain experience in bookkeeping and payroll tasks, expanding my skillset beyond my creative background.

Alongside general accounting tasks, I was assigned to maintain the business’ social media and grow our marketing strategies from graphic adverts to blog articles. This opportunity to contribute to the team from a primarily marketing standpoint enabled me to combine my creative practice with my business skills.

Devon

I have held an interest in accounting from an early age, an interest that led to me studying Accounting and Finance at the University of Essex and more recently lead me to joining Quove. In my spare time, I enjoy rowing and often spend my weekends out on the water. This passion lead me to joining my University Rowing club, where I enjoyed competing and teaching rowing to beginners, as well as, later serving as club president. Now at Quove, I’m keen to apply my knowledge and continue growing within the accounting field.
