Simon Brook
Senior Lecturer
Summary
Prior to joining Sheffield Hallam, I worked as an accountant in both the public and private sectors having qualified with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in 1993. I specialised in charity finance and held senior financial positions at Macmillan Cancer Support and St John Ambulance. I joined Sheffield Hallam University as a senior lecturer in 2007 and very much enjoy helping and supporting our students. Until recently, I held a Course Leadership position for several years. I'm now concentrating on finishing my MSc and developing research interests. My main teaching interests are financial reporting and taxation.
