Professional Experience
With over 40 years of experience in the finance industry, Keith has helped clients in almost every sector before specialising in medical accountancy which has been his sole focus for the last 12+ years.
Keith began his career in finance in 1981, working towards his qualification as a chartered accountant with Newcastle based Spicer and Pegler – now Deloitte Touche. After qualifying, he made the decision to move to BDO in the Channel Islands, where he quickly progressed from an auditor to senior auditor, managing a team of 35 staff.
Keith has always had a clear vision of how he wanted to progress, after seeing the huge sums of money involved with the corporate big business sectors he felt that owner-operators were often overlooked in terms of service levels and general focus.
He decided to return to Newcastle, where he made a series of career moves resulting in him becoming Group Manager for a regional accountancy firm in 2002, later progressing to Head of Medical Services where he dealt exclusively with medical clients, providing compliance services to a portfolio of 140 GP practices.
Keith relishes the challenge of the constantly changing healthcare sector and found that the clients he was dealing with saw an immediate benefit from his services as he fulfilled his desire to work with owner-operator businesses.
In 2013, Keith launched his own niche firm solely focused on the healthcare sector as he wanted to raise the bar in terms of client service and delivery. With the financial backing of fellow Directors Richard Blackett and Kevin Walker BW Medical Accountants was formed and continues to gain momentum.
Over 2,000 NHS professionals have switched to BW Medical Accountants within the last decade. The firm has solid foundations and has continued to invest in training and development to establish a highly experienced team of 35 experts. As one of very few niche firms in England, BW Medical Accountants is building a reputation for quality and results, attracting a national client base.

In Keith's Words
"The healthcare market is vast and very few healthcare professionals are currently supported by true specialist medical accountants. It's our aim to help as many as possible manage their finances and navigate the challenges facing the sector, particularly the NHS.

"I enjoy working with like-minded professionals and look forward to developing a successful and highly regarded company which provides an unparalleled quality service. The beauty of working in the healthcare sector is the satisfaction gained from assisting clients and the positive feedback received is highly rewarding."
