Meet The Team

Meet the people behind FBD.

Angela Stott FCCAAccountant

Angela joined FBD in March 2019.  She qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant in 2012.

Having spent 9 years specialising in small business accounts and personal tax, she took a break from practice and entered into the world of industry for a couple of years.  Missing the variety of practice was the driver for her return to practice and joining the FBD family.

Although personal tax was her specialism, she has significant experience in the preparation of year end accounts for various types and sizes of business as well as the preparation of VAT returns and management accounts.  She has strong skills in other areas of taxation such as capital gains tax, land & buildings transactions tax, stamp duty etc.

Angela has great attention to detail and takes great pride in her work.

Angela enjoys spending time with her son, which usually involves Lego building.

She is close to completing her ICAS Tax Practioner qualifications to ensure that her UK tax knowledge is sharp and up to date. She joined the FBD Team in a full-time capacity in December 2018.

Belinda is a property investor herself and is passionate about helping people understand the accounting and tax side of business better.

Before joining the team, Belinda was involved in Financial Services, but left to pursue her dreams of making a difference in small businesses and having more time to spend with her husband and building her own property portfolio.

In her spare time she enjoys reading, walking and travelling.
