Mike Watson

As head of the Fortus Academy I am able to pass on my extensive knowledge of over 30 years working in an accountancy practice, including running my own accountancy firm, to our enthusiastic apprentices and professional developing employees alike.

It is very rewarding to see the development of our people  through our dedicated intensive training program that Fortus provide and it feels like we are giving something special back to the profession in a way very few, if any, other accountancy firms of our size can offer. The progression of our trainees through our program has to date been exceptional and long may that continue.

My passion in life’s anything with two wheels. This is currently a mix of mountain biking and road cycling in the stunning countryside of North Yorkshire. I have two children, two dogs, one partner and at the last stocktake, a collection of four bikes!
