David is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and has worked exclusively in professional accountancy practices in and around Exeter for over 25 years. He has an extensive knowledge of local business issues. 

He is particularly experienced in bringing financial direction to the client’s board room. To succeed in business financial strategy is paramount and yet many smaller businesses do not have the resources to recruit internal finance directors. 

David has been a business owner since 2005 and an equity partner at Gravita since 2013 specialising in providing strategic business and taxation services to owner-managed businesses. 

Outside of work he is a voluntary governor at his children’s school and a director of Crediton Rugby Football Club. 

David remains hopeful of becoming a professional surfer one day but after 40 years of practicing without getting any better this might not happen.
