Sarah Shearer FCA BSc

After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant with PwC in 2003 Sarah worked in various roles as an accountant before setting up her own small firm in 2007. The firm, Emmaus Chartered Accountants, has 15 staff who serve the small business community. Sarah runs the firm with a Christian ethos and staff meet weekly to pray. 

In addition to raising Lucy, age 25 and Sami, age 16, Sarah continues to be an active volunteer in the community, taking on leadership roles in scouting, the charity sector and at church. 

In particular Sarah has founded a new charity called the Ezra Charitable Trust, which has recently purchased a property in her local town, Camberley, with the purpose of providing food and shelter to those in need. The charity will launch its service in mid 2023.

She is also Vice Chair of Trustees and treasurer at Release International, where she travels internationally in her work to support persecuted Christians and give them a voice.
