Members in practice advisory board

The Members in Practice Advisory Board has been set up by ICAS to serve the needs of small and medium-sized CA practices.

The board, which is chaired by Suzy Kerton, meets every 3 months to discuss matters affecting practitioners and considers how ICAS can help practitioners deal with the issues which they face in their day to day working lives and ensures that ICAS has the necessary support structures in place.

The board is made up of a mixture of accountants in practice, with ICAS employees also playing a role in ensuring that the recommendations of the board are acted upon.

MiPAB members

The board is made up of the following members:

Suzy Kerton

Suzy Kerton qualified as a CA with Baker Tilly in 2012 and completed a secondment to the Buenos Aires office in Argentina shortly after qualifying.

She became CFO of a cloud accounting software company at just 26 years of age which set her in good stead when starting her own cloud-based accountancy practice. After a brief spell as Financial Accountant at the Cabinet Office, she embarked on a Full-Time MBA at Imperial College Business School. It was during the MBA that Suzy, with her business partner Latha, started Zyla Accountants, an accountancy practice offering a full range of accountancy services to startups and small businesses from year-end accounts and VAT returns to R&D tax credits and SEIS compliance.

Suzy is passionate about helping businesses understand their finances and making their accounting processes easy and efficient. Suzy also sits on the ICAS Council and the London Area Network. Beyond accountant life Suzy plays basketball and tennis, she speaks Spanish and Portuguese and loves to travel.
