Christian Barton - Director

Before joining the team, Chris spent over six years in retail as a team manager, where he built strong leadership and people skills. He then moved into the finance team of a large distribution company — one of the county’s biggest employers — where he worked as a retail accountant. In this role, he supported the preparation of management accounts and carried out cost centre analysis across various departments.

​

While Chris enjoyed his time in that role, he discovered that his real passion is working more closely with small businesses and supporting them with their day-to-day finances — which is what led him to join ADK.

​

Chris enjoys building relationships with clients and is always happy to help with bookkeeping, VAT, and payroll. He’s also a Xero Certified Advisor, bringing valuable expertise alongside his friendly, approachable style.
