Partners
Paul Potter FCA
Partner
I have been a partner in the firm since 1988. As well as dealing with all aspects of general practice, I have developed specialisms in working with our older retired clients and also the charities sector. I enjoy advising the retired and elderly and seeing the benefits and appreciation that assistance brings. This involves working alongside our Trust and Estates team on Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and when necessary Estate / Probate work. In addition to client work, I also have a number of administrative responsibilities on behalf of the partnership, including acting as a staff partner, liaising on insurance matters for the firm and ensuring regulatory aspects are complied with under ICAEW guidelines.

Paul Turner
Client Manager
I joined Humphrey and Co in March 2015. Since graduating with a degree in Business Management and Accountancy from Sussex University in 2004 I have focused on specialising at Residential Leasehold Management accounting. I have a particular interest in systems design and implementation which has lead to a variety of projects for some of the country's leading managing agents. This experience has resulted in a diverse and hands on knowledge of leasehold accounting before coming to Humphrey and Co. In my spare time I love to read and really enjoy listening to a wide variety of music.
