Jim Brown MA (Hons) Oxon, ACA
Director
Born in 1975, Jim has a Master's Degree from St Catherine's College, Oxford University, an MBA from Tanaka Business School, Imperial College and is an Associate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
Jim started his career in 1997 as a trainee at our parent firm Blick Rothenberg, and was made partner within the firm in July 2007. Since joining he has been engaged in a number of activities including internal audit and systems reviews and various accounting investigations. In the audit department he managed a portfolio of over 100 clients from numerous different countries and industries. During 2002 he was seconded to Blick Rothenberg's associate office in Vancouver, where he enhanced his experience of international issues.
He was appointed a director of BRAL in 2004 and has active responsibility for assisting international clients setting up in the UK wishing to outsource their back office functions, especially those coming to the UK from the US. He has been heavily involved in BRAL becoming the first known UK accounting firm to be SAS 70 Type II accredited. More recently he has been working on the implementation and roll out of eBRAL, our award nominated extranet solution.
Jim enjoys reading, cooking more than he should, running less than he should and is working hard at lowering his rather high golf handicap.
