Danielle StewartBaker Tilly is a leading national provider of accountancy and business services. Danielle Stewart is a partner in the Guildford Office of Baker Tilly where she runs the Business Advisory Department, which provides business advisory and complex financial reporting services to a wide range of clients, from AIM listed companies to owner-managed businesses.

Danielle built her own highly successful 6 partner firm of Chartered Accountants over a period of 17 years before joining Baker Tilly in May 2008. Throughout her career, she has acted for a wide range of businesses in the £1m - £100m turnover range, helping many owner managers to grow their businesses and achieve their dreams and aspirations.

Danielle’s work focuses primarily on advisory services, including strategy development and corporate governance advisory work, as well as acting as a non-executive advisor to the Board for a wide variety of companies. She fulfils the role of a finance director on an out-sourced basis, providing a service which is very similar to The Legal Director’s offering but which is focused on finance and related business advice as opposed to legal issues and business advice. This service is particularly useful for companies requiring the financial and commercial expertise that an experienced Chartered Accountant can bring, but which are too small to justify the cost of this on a full-time basis.

Danielle’s financial expertise and our legal expertise can work perfectly together to provide any growing business with the expertise it needs to make the right business decisions at the right time.
