Meet Zee Razaq
ACMA/CGMA, Managing Director
Read any accountancy firm website and you will read the words, “we are not your normal accountant”. With me, Zee, that’s actually true.
Growing up as a second generational Pakistani in the UK, I know exactly what it is like to have the odds stacked against you. When my father died, it became my responsibility to look after my mother and 4 sisters. That meant, instead of starting my own business in my early 20s, I qualified as an accountant and went to work with big household brands such as Mothercare and Santander. After all, paying for my younger sisters to get married (as is the custom in my community) is an expensive undertaking!
I’ve always had a passion to grow a business which becomes bigger than me, something which will help me provide for my growing family now and for generations to come. This is still a fire that burns within me too and that’s why I want to help others to do the same. I was written off at school by the majority of my teachers and told “I would never amount to anything” so this is where my drive comes from: I am determined that my children have a different start in life to me.
Despite what my academic record at school may have said, I have always had a thirst for knowledge – and then how to use this knowledge. This thirst is now being quenched by my own personal journey into the property world. I am always spending an hour or two here identifying how to leverage my own money to grow a property portfolio. I then use what I have learnt with my own property business to help my clients grow a business and property portfolio.
As my clients will testify, when it comes to property and tax, I am a mine of information. Not only can I make what seems like a very dry subject actually interesting, but you’ll have difficulty shutting me up when I get passionate talking about your business and what can be done to make it better. For a number of my clients, I act as a Finance Director (i.e. high-level business advisor). If this becomes you, you can rest easy that the team and I are supporting you to achieve your lifestyle and financial goals.
