Hi, my name is James Ramsden but most people call me Jim and I am from the North, but don’t hold that against me.

I am one of the bookkeepers with Red Fish Accountancy having spent many years working in Industry using SAGE Line 50, QuickBooks, Agresso amongst others.

I am part ACCA qualified and whilst taking a break from accountancy became a fully qualified Primary School Teacher having gone off to University in 2009 studying a BA (Hons) in Primary Education.  Every day is a school day. My experience has been gained working in industry for a Domiciliary Care Company, Hotel, Greeting Card Manufacturer, Scaffolding Company, University and a Historical Souvenir and Gift Company.

Most of my pastimes revolved around my 4 children but now, as they are grown up, I find myself looking for other things to do along with the usual DIY chores that come along.  I have played Sunday league, been a youth football coach and also a Cub Scout Leader. I achieved a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do at the young age of 45, although I no longer practice and am also am Army Veteran of 9 years, having served around the world.  Don’t ask me what I did as I will have to kill you, lol.

Working for Red Fish and working remotely has been a great move for me.  The team we have is brilliant and they have a vast amount of experience and are always on hand to offer guidance and support.
