Katie Shaw

Outsourcing Manager - Chartered Accountant

I joined Forrester Boyd in 2015 and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2019. Starting my career in accounts preparation, I quickly moved into audit - specialising in Charities and the Education sectors, before progressing to Audit Manager.

After rejoining Forrester Boyd in 2026 as an Outsourcing Manager, I now support a broad range of clients across multiple sectors. My role focuses on identifying strategic growth opportunities, improving business processes, and implementing efficiencies that help clients gain valuable insight into their performance and achieve their long-term goals.

When I'm not at work, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, enjoying a yoga class, or planning my next holiday abroad

If there was one piece of advice you would give your younger self, what would it be?

If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be not to worry so much about having everything figured out. The opportunities and experiences along the way often lead to the best outcomes.
