Alice Davidchack, ACMA, CGMA, CPA, MAcc, BA (Business) – Managing Director
Alice is a founder and managing director of Business Engine Room. She earned a BA in Business and Masters in Accounting and Information Systems from the University of Kansas and qualified as a Certified Public Accountant in the USA in 1999. Having worked through university as a part-time accountant for a number of small businesses, Alice started her post-graduate career with Deloitte. Having moved to the UK, Alice qualified as a management accountant (ACMA) with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and worked in senior roles across a range of sectors for 13 years, including higher education, voluntary sector and local government.

Alice set up Business Engine Room in 2013 with a vision to create true partnerships with business owners when it comes to managing small business finances. As a specialist accountancy firm, Business Engine Room offers a blend of accounting, coaching and training to progressive companies who would value a co-pilot (a.k.a. strategic partner) on their journey.
Outside of work, Alice runs two other businesses – a small farm and a coaching practice. She and her family live in Leicester.
