Anthony Keenan x

Having gained a degree in Fuel and Energy Engineering at Leeds University, Anthony went to London working for small and medium-sized accountancy firms, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1994 and as a Chartered Tax Adviser in 1998. Anthony met his wife, had two children then headed back up North, working as a tax adviser for KPMG. He became a senior tax manager with responsibilities in Manchester, Preston and Liverpool, undertaking large corporate and personal tax projects.

Anthony took the plunge in 2004 acquiring the practice with the aim of providing a quality service to quality clients. A wealth of tax and accounting experience ensures that Anthony knows when external help should be sort. What clients want is an accountant who acts as a sounding board, who offers good advice, who knows tax law and someone who recognises issues and knows how to help the client deal with them.

In his spare time, Anthony tries to keep fit by cycling, playing badminton and going to the gym.

Anthony is involved in a number of charities, the principal one being Fylde Coast YMCA, where he is Treasurer. Fylde Coast YMCA is a charitable organisation which hopes to provide opportunities to enable people and communities to achieve their full physical, social, cultural and spiritual potential. It has over 400 staff and operates gyms, swimming pools and provides education, training and housing to young and older people.

Anthony does not hide the fact that he believes social responsibility is important and is keen for staff to learn and develop their education.

Finally, other than his family, his other love is Liverpool Football Club. You can take him away from Liverpool but you can’t take away the Scouser in Anthony. He has had a season ticket since the age at the age of 12 and still has one now!

I am originally from Manchester and came to live in St. Annes with my husband in 2017, I have 2 daughters and 3 wonderful grandchildren.  We have a young black Labrador called Barney and love spending our spare time on walks with him, I also enjoy cooking, reading and holidaying abroad.

For the past 20 years, I have mainly worked in the manufacturing sector for relatively small companies as a bookkeeper and payroll administrator working with Sage. 

When I joined the team at Keenan’s in March 2019 I brought with me many years of experience in these fields along with an NVQ level 3 in Business and Administration.

I joined KCA in April 2021. I have a degree in Physics and came to accountancy through recommendations from a friend. I have since completed my AAT and am Level 4 qualified. Currently, I’m not looking to expand my form education; instead I’m enjoying broadening my on the job knowledge and expanding my other work-related skills, such as IT.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time with my dogs and travel around the country competing with them in both agility and conformation.

I joined KCA in November 2020 as an apprentice. I have a degree in History from Lancaster University, and I finally completed my apprenticeship and achieved AAT qualified status in summer 2024. I am keen to continue my studies, so I will be starting the training to become an ICAEW Chartered Accountant later in 2024. This will be a new challenge that I am looking forward to taking on.

I really enjoy my role as a client manager – I look after individuals and companies from many industries, and I get involved in all areas of accountancy.

Outside of work, I love to visit theme parks, listen to Beyonce and plan holidays with my boyfriend.

I joined KCA in September 2023. I enjoy the work at Keenans, it’s challenging and stimulating, and I am always learning new things. My previous jobs have included working in a fast-paced restaurant, a hypermarket, and as a purchases & sales assistant.

Having studied Business at college straight after high school, I realised how much I enjoyed the accountancy aspect of the course and decided to study accountancy further. I am now halfway through my Level 4 AAT and aim to complete this within the year, then progress onto studying to be a chartered accountant.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, as well as my beautiful white Persian Chinchilla cat that I love to cuddle and play with. I also like going on hikes, skiing in the mountains and of course a sunny beach holiday!
