Jane Capel
Director
I incorporated Think Smart People in early 2023, having successfully built up its sister company Think Smart Accounts since its inception in 2015. Prior to setting up Think Smart, I have over 20 years experience of managing Finance, Payroll & HR departments in the corporate blue chip & SME markets. I have gained a wealth of experience in a variety of roles and industries, including Seton House Group, Thomson Directories Ltd and Infor (United Kingdom) Ltd.
Prior to 2023, Think Smart's people support solutions were delivered alongside related mainstream accounting products i.e. payroll and pension auto enrolment support. As our Finance Client base has grown, it has become clear that there is an increased need amongst the small business community for support with both legislative and day to day HR requirements. This led me to set up a sister company for Think Smart Accounts which I have called Think Smart People. I have brought on board Lisa McCabe who is someone that I have previously worked with for her HR expertise and together we are able to support both our current client base and future prospective clients.
Both Lisa and I have a passion for helping small businesses by providing the support they need. We have the skillsets to be able to deal with all of your HR generalist requirements, which means simply that we can be your HR partner throughout your business journey.
See our Services page for a full range of what we can offer.
