Another Happy Client...
“From a company director's perspective, it's comforting to delegate what we're not good at to someone else who is. Over the years we have worked with three different accountancy firms and Liz at Lowe Henwood has been the best. Her proficiency to detail, understanding of our business and advice has been first-rate. She takes care of our accounts, leaving us to focus on what we prefer to do.”

The Team
Lisa Lowe
Lisa completed her accountancy training with KPMG at their Plymouth office. She qualified in 1993, achieving the prize for top chartered accountancy student in the South West in her final professional exams.
After qualification, she stayed with KPMG for two years, acting in a managerial role, before moving in April 1995 to Mark Holt & Co. where, as part of the senior management team, she ran her own portfolio of clients in the owner/managed business sector as well as being involved in managing the firm.
In September 1999, to fit better with the demands of a young family, Lisa started her own accountancy practice, which became Lisa Lowe Limited. Her practice has grown steadily since then. Lisa’s portfolio is wide-ranging in terms of market sector – in fact with over 20 years in the profession, there’s not many types of business that Lisa hasn’t been exposed to.
Lisa was born in Plymouth and has never lived anywhere else for longer than 3 months! She is married to Gavin, and has two boys in full time education, Tom aged 14 and Harry 10.
Liz Henwood
Liz trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG in Plymouth. She then moved to London with KPMG where she became a Senior Manager heading up the Owner Managed Business department, looking after clients across all industry sectors. Whilst at KPMG Liz also completed an MBA in Entrepreneurship at Manchester Business School.
After 10 years with KPMG Liz moved into industry as a financial controller, initially for a small London pub group and later for Fuller Smith & Turner PLC, a FTSE listed Pub and Beer Company, where she worked for six years. Liz returned to Plymouth because she wanted to bring up her children in a more relaxed environment.
Liz is able to bring her wide experience gained from both within the profession and in commerce to her clients who range from small self employed sole traders to larger companies with turnovers in the millions.
Liz is married with two young children. She grew up in Plymouth where she went to Devonport High School and then graduated at the University of Southampton.
Karen Squire
Karen began her career at a local firm of chartered accountants gaining experience in most areas of practice together with her AAT & ATT qualifications. Her last employed role was as small business specialist and tax compliance advisor at Mark Holt & Co where she worked alongside Lisa.
Karen then went on to set up her own practice from scratch in 1999 and built up a varied client base of mainly sole traders / partnerships/ personal tax cases before joining forces with Lisa & Liz .
Small businesses and individuals can encounter varied accounting & tax issues on a day to day basis. Karen is able to draw on her extensive experience and provide practical support and solutions in an approachable manner.
Karen is married with one son. She was born in Wales and boarded at Red Maids School, Bristol before returning to live in Plymouth.
