Meet the team

Dan Syers

Director/Owner

Dan wears many hats as one of the directors of Syers McGill. From running the business and dealing with clients hands-on, he loves to problem-solve and get stuck in. Surprising fact about Dan? He was born in Milan!

Michaela McGill

Director/Owner

With over 30 years of experience in accounting, Michaela leads the personal tax and sole trader side of the business. Outside work, you’ll likely find her in a pilates or spin class.

Dave Syers

Director/Owner

Dave joined the practice in 2024 after being a professional footballer in a previous life and spends his time advising clients and supporting the team.

Gabby Warr

Accountant

Gabby keeps busy with accounts, bookkeeping and VAT returns – and chatting with her lovely colleagues. Fun fact: she was an extra in the 4th Harry Potter film! If she wasn’t in accounting, you’d probably find her behind DJ decks instead.

Liam Carr

Accountant

Liam handles Limited Company accounts, VAT returns and tax returns, all with a smile. When he’s not working with different clients, he enjoys playing or watching darts.

Neil Dean

Accountant

By day, Neil enjoys helping clients understand their businesses so they can make smart, informed decisions. Outside of work, he’s been known to bust out all the dance moves to Tragedy by Steps…

Sarah Kitchen

VAT & Payroll

Sarah started her career in her family’s accounting practice before moving to Syers McGill. She’s a bit of a thrill-seeker, having bungee-jumped on three different continents!

Wendy Noake-Forshaw

Payroll

Wendy is our go-to for payroll – she’s always learning about the latest changes and planning ahead for deadlines. She’s a woman of mystery too. Wendy isn’t her birth name!

Nicky Dobson

Admin

Nicky has made sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes and has been doing so since 1988! Outside of work she’s a real ‘big spender’ belting out Shirley Bassey at the local karaoke.

McGuire Larner

Trainee accountant

McGuire joined as a trainee in 2022 and is currently working across payroll, VAT, accounts preparation and assisting clients with queries. He can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under one minute!

Tom McGill

Trainee accountant

Tom is one of our brilliant trainees, gaining experience in bookkeeping, payroll, and accounts preparation. As a teenager, he was in a rock band.

Harry Kay

Trainee accountant

Harry spends his day working with a range of clients, drinking coffee and indulging in his daily Greggs sausage roll. He decided to get into accounting after he figured he was better at adding up than he was at spelling.
