Yvonne Benson
Finance Director
Office location: Birmingham
Yvonne is a Chartered Accountant and manages the finance department at BWL Group.
Yvonne’s accounting career began in Australia, working within the healthcare sector, where her passion for budgeting and forecasting began to grow. She subsequently gained experience in the financial services and energy sectors in roles of increasing seniority. In 2015, Yvonne worked in Singapore for a large bank as a Project Accountant supporting the roll-out of the bank’s digital applications and more recently, following her relocation to the U.K., she worked for a global company specialising in retail analytics and as Financial Controller for an online gambling company.
Yvonne’s passion for detail and analysis meant she was a perfect fit for BWL when she joined in 2020. Joining BWL at the height of the Covid-19 outbreak meant she was thrown in at the deep end to support the business during this difficult period which saw BWL grow across all financial metrics.
Yvonne has a Bachelor of International Finance from the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) from Adelaide University and has been a Chartered Accountant since 2008.
