Sue Daye
Head of Private Client Practice

Crowe Clark Whitehill 

Crowe Clark Whitehill's Cheltenham office is on the up. Growing year by year in all areas, CCW has been particularly known for its non-profit and international business. Adding to this success is CCW's Private Client Practice, lead by Partner, Sue Daye.

We caught up with Sue to ask about her career, advice for start-ups, common accounting mistakes SMEs make, and what makes Crowe Clark Whitehill's corporate culture appealing to employees and clients. (See
video).
