Hi, I'm Fiona Brownlee and I am the founder of Sterling Financial Management Ltd I am a qualified and experienced Chartered Management Accountant and my background is Financial and Business Management for across Corporate, Venture Capital (VC) funded start-ups and high growth SMEs.

I have over 20 years’ experience working with start-ups and high growth SMEs. I started life as a bookkeeper before training as a Chartered Management Accountant and I've also worked in General Management, so I understand the full picture for your small business!

I have worked across many industries including, Health care, Business Consultancy, IT, marketing, design and tech, construction, Insurance, Art, pet care, Health and Beauty and Coaching and have worked within all areas of the finance department and in general management.

I believe that small business holders should be able to focus on their core business and use their spare time to be with the people that matter and do the things they love afterall, you didn't go into your business to work on finance!

I grew up in the North of England and moved London to pursue my career in Finance. Fast forward a few years, I then moved to Johannesburg where I continued to build a successful career for 10 years around my three children.

I now live in the Surrey countryside in Dorking, with my husband, three children, two energetic big dogs and kitty cat. I love hanging out with family and friends, going for walks, runs and cycles and am a self confessed Peloton addict. I love to read, have travelled extensively and love to learn new skills.
