I work hard to ensure that Codex provides excellent customer service which would not be possible without the support and hard work of my loyal and dedicated team. I ensure we provide quality information in a timely manner as it’s essential that business owners can make informed decisions for their businesses.

As a bookkeeper, it is my job to keep an accurate and detailed record of the money that is spent and received by my clients’ businesses, to minimise their VAT liability whilst ensuring HMRC compliance, to carry out their credit control, if required, and to provide reports summarising their in-year financial position.

Serena Garde

Prior to joining Codex, I came from the Corporate World of Healthcare focusing on Sales and Marketing. Decided on a career change, studied Accountancy through AAT, and achieved my MAAT in January 2022 and opened a small practice later that year. Although a recent joiner to Codex, I am enjoying the experience in new client industries, and being part of a team again.
