Rachel Fowler - Managing Director
Introduction
Rachel founded RFA in 2018 with a desire to create a boutique Advisory practice that offers a tailored service to clients facing financial distress, recovering from crisis or simply wishing to kick on and grow. Leveraging from Rachel's reputation in the NI market, RFA was born. A Chartered Accountant and Insolvency Practitioner, Rachel is an advisor with over 15 years’ experience. She prides herself on offering a service that helps ease the pressures faced by business owners.
What's involved in your job?
My job has evolved from dealing with absolutely everything in RFA to focusing on the team. I am encouraging and mentoring our team to deliver a first class service. I am the primary contact point for clients and our referral base, from there the team and I develop a plan to deal with issues as they arise.
What's your favourite quote?
“Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.” Brian O’Driscoll
What drives you?
I love easing the pressure for my clients, whether a business is in distress or going through a growth phase having a trusted advisor can really make a difference. On a personal level I love the variety of sectors I help. I maintain that no matter what my son Jack wants to do I will know someone in the industry and I’ll support him.
What do you do outside work?
I love spending time with my family and friends, hopefully they will be there long after RFA. I enjoy sharing a glass of wine, a laugh and good food with friends.
