Proprietor - Kathy Ladanowski BA ACA

I am a chartered accountant, qualified in 2002 with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales. I have over 10 years experience working closely with many different types of owner managed businesses and charities in the North West area. Prior to starting my training I gained a degree in accounting and finance from Liverpool John Moores University.

Prior to setting up Aster Accountants I have worked with three of the largest independent firms of accountants in the north west area. This has given me a range of exposure to all areas of accounting and finance, from preparing accounts and tax returns for sole traders such as plumbers and plasterers,  through to preparing and auditing the accounts of a multi million pound chain of restaurants.

Whether you are looking to set up in business for the first time and are looking for assistance in where to start, or are the owner of an established limited company, I will be able to bring my experience and expertise to assist you in managing your own and your company's finances whilst meeting statutory requirements.

Outside of work, I have two horses and enjoy competing in British Dressage competitions. We have had some good results including qualifying for and being placed at the regional championships, however my horse unfortunatly picked up an injury at the start of 2010 and was out of action for a good twelve months. At the present time my horse is on a slow road back to fitness but we are hopeful she looks like making a good recovery. 

 I am also the proud owner of a Honda CB400 (NC31)  motorbike, thanks to the interest and help of my partner, Dave. However, he now has to go a little bit slower on his bike to let me keep up!

We enjoy keeping up with the action in moto gp, and this year promises to be a good one!  We are looking forward to our trip to Silverstone this year to watch the moto gp, fingers crossed for good weather and that none of the riders are out injured again. We will be cheering on brit Cal Crutchlow who seems to have made a good start to the year, as well as the young brits in Moto 2 and the 125's.
