Ainsley joined Cooper Parry in October 2022 and is a Tax Manager in the Manchester office. She gained the MAAT qualification and became part qualified ACCA, whilst working in the industry/not-for-profit sector for 10 years, before moving to a medium sized practice in 2000. Ainsley then went onto qualifying as a member of the ACCA, where she also trained in the audit department, gaining experience in both internal and external audit functions.

After this, Ainsley progressed into tax where she continued for the last 20 years, gaining her CTA, and becoming a Fellow member of the ACCA. Whilst she widened her knowledge in the not-for-profit sector on the corporate side, she also worked on a portfolio of SMEs in various sectors on both corporate and personal taxes.

Outside of work, Ainsley is a mum to a boy and a young dog and enjoys spending time with them and family. She also enjoys watching motorbike racing if there’s any spare time!
