Jonathan Riley
Senior partner and proprietor
My career started over 20 years’ ago, working in a variety of industries. I started with a private cosmetic surgery company in Cheshire, beginning my studies for the Association of Accounting Technicians qualification. I qualified in the June of 2000 whilst with the globally recognised Amec Construction Ltd, based in Manchester gaining a breadth of experience.
​
Using my AAT qualification, I set up my own bookkeeping business, over the years; I built a small client base at the same time pursuing the CIMA qualification through distance learning. In 2010 I met my wife and in 2011 relocated to Chesterfield. Finding a position with James Engineering Construction Ltd based in Alfreton.
​
I joined David F Lee in November, 2013, worked my way through the ACCA qualification and taking over the practice in April, 2022 I am supported by Harry and Claire.
Harry Dowding
Accountant
Our youthful enthusiasm comes from Harry Dowding who is training for his qualification with the ACCA after completing his AAT.
​
I developed my business and accountancy skills before being offered the opportunity to gain more hands-on experience with David F Lee Associates. I completed my AAT qualification and I am now studying towards my ACCA qualification.
