Sharon W.

Financial Director @ Springcare Ltd

About

I’m a finance professional in the care sector, working with CEOs and leadership teams to make sure our organisation is financially strong and able to deliver the kind of care we’d want for our own families.Most of my work is about bringing clarity and stability to complex, multi-site services, keeping a close eye on cash flow, controls and reporting, while making sure decisions work in the real world of care, not just on a spreadsheet. I’m known for being calm, pragmatic and easy to work with, and for building trusted relationships with colleagues and key stakeholders Outside work, I’m happiest spending time with family, reading, watching a good film, and embracing a bit of hygge, a reminder that balance and perspective matter in leadership as much as they do in life.
