About Me
Rosie Hawkwood
With over 25 years of experience in finance and administration, I am Rosie Hawkwood, a seasoned Finance Manager, former Deputy COFA (Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration), and Practice Manager. My extensive career spans a variety of industries, notably within accountancy and law practices, where I have played a pivotal role in supporting businesses as they navigate growth and transition.
My responsibilities have been wide-ranging, enabling me to oversee and guide the development of growing practices. I have been instrumental in designing and implementing robust systems, policies, and procedures tailored to each organisation’s needs. Crucially, my approach places particular emphasis on the ongoing review and refinement of existing systems. This is not just about introducing structure—it is about identifying and eliminating inefficiencies that often burden team members with unnecessary administrative tasks. By streamlining processes and reducing time spent on non-essential admin, fee earners are freed up to focus on what they do best: generating income for the business. In turn, this leads directly to increased productivity and profits, as valuable resources are directed towards fee-earning work rather than being lost to avoidable bureaucracy.
At the heart of my approach is the belief that efficient systems are key to unlocking a business’s full potential. By establishing and continually refining processes that are both formal and adaptable, I help businesses create an environment where every team member understands their role and how to perform their duties effectively. This not only streamlines daily operations but also ensures that all work is completed accurately and to the highest standard, maximising both efficiency and profitability.
