About Sandy

Chartered accountant.
DJ. Sneaker-world creative.

I'm Sandy, associate director at JDR Admin. Here's a bit more about where I've come from, and why I work the way I do.

01
Why small businesses

It started behind the counter.

"My parents ran a convenience store when I was growing up. I wanted to get back to helping people like them with their books and their business."

Grassroots matters to me. After training at a Big 4 firm, I chose to work with small companies, where I can see the value of taking the accounts, tax and deadlines off someone's plate.

02
The other side

Music, sneakers and streetwear came first.

So if your income comes from gigs, royalties, brand deals or drops, you won't need to explain how it works.

Sneakers

A Nike collaboration

I collaborated with Nike on a trainer that was released to the public, and worked as a creative consultant for sneaker, trainer and streetwear brands.

Podcast and panels

Women in sneakers

I hosted a podcast showcasing women in the sneaker industry, and spoke on industry panels.

Music

Behind the decks

I'm a DJ and have played internationally. These days I also teach DJing to people from marginalised communities.

03
How I work

Personal, not corporate.

You deal with me

A named person who knows your business, not a ticket number or a call centre.

Plain English

I explain what the numbers mean and what you need to do, without the jargon.

Fixed fees

We agree the scope and a monthly fee up front, so there are no surprise invoices.

I pick up the phone

Questions get answered through the year, not just at the year end.

04
The team

Backed by a small, experienced team.

I'm associate director at JDR Admin, and I'm backed by a small team, including a senior bookkeeper with more than 10 years' experience.

10+
Years of bookkeeping experience
05
Work with me

Let's talk about your business.

Tell me what you need and I'll come back with a written scope and a fixed monthly fee. No obligation.
