We were delighted to welcome Rhys Cottrell to the Ducketts team back in March, joining our management accounts crew – and you’ll be seeing plenty of him.

With a background as a Financial Controller across multiple sectors, Rhys brings valuable experience and a calm head in fast-paced environments. His passion for management accounts led him to Ducketts, and we’re very glad it did.

We have thrown a few questions at him to get to know him better.

 
Why did you join Ducketts?
