The best thing about working in the accountancy audit profession for many years is the ability to get a holistic view of a business and take the detailed knowledge obtained to help it succeed. That’s what I now do as a finance director to numerous businesses on a part-time, flexible and long-term basis. And it’s not just an advice or consultancy service – it’s me and a team of finance professionals giving clients hands-on support, on site if necessary. Using my 30+ years’ experience in both practice and industry, I thrive on making numbers make sense to business owners and CEOs and enjoy delving deep into strategy, structure and operations to obtain the right information to drive innovation. I’ve rode alongside many entrepreneurs on the rollercoaster that is the ups and downs of starting, growing, restructuring and selling businesses. I’ve helped raise angel and venture capital, floated and run stock-exchange listed companies, and sold them. My specialist sectors include media, medical software, clean technology, construction, telecommunications and marine, but our dedicated team of proactive finance professionals offer a wealth of diverse experience. Our clients’ business sector and aims will be matched with the right finance director and the service tailored to specific needs. And as businesses adapt and grow, so does our service.
