Stuart Haynes features in the Accounting Technician Magazine

Stuart Haynes, CFO at Outer Temple Chambers featured in an interview titled ‘Setting My Own Pace’ in AT Magazine’s September/October edition.

Stuart Haynes spoke in an interview about his professional life as a CFO at Outer Temple Chambers by day and his passions as a rock drummer by night. Stuart explains how his practice session with his band that also includes a psychologist, primary school teacher, golf instructor, and a tattoo artist helps them reset mentally despite being from different professional backgrounds.

“Drumming is one of those activities where the easier it looks, the harder it is. It’s a completely different challenge to work, using separate parts of the brain, allowing you to escape from everything else. Being motivated and conscientious in achieving one’s goals are important life lessons, regardless of one’s profession.”

“As a CFO, I have to be up to date with technical developments and legislation, so I need to constantly maintain my CPD. Working in a barrister’s chambers, I also have to be abreast of legal developments. Having the mindset to appreciate that change is healthy, rules will vary and the need to keep learning is directly applicable in a band setting.”
