with a degree in accountancy before qualifying as a chartered accountant
in 1992. He worked with two firms in Newcastle-upon-Tyne then joined
O'Reilly in 1999. He was manager of the audit department, dealing with
corporate clients as well as other regulated work and was made a partner

University with a degree in business law. He started a career in financial
planning, joining a major insurance company and progressing to area
sales manager and completing the professional Financial Planning Certificate.
With a desire to offer independent financial advice, rather than being

an independent financial adviser and became a partner in 2004. Lee
is also now in charge of our other businesses O'Reilly Financial Services
and Yoredale Investment Services.
