Jonathan Light Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced senior finance professional with a talent for objectively reviewing an organisation and its marketplace and repositioning it to maximise available opportunities, strengthening service offerings to match clients’ needs and facilitate organic growth. I have a proven track record of leading change management programmes from planning stages through to full implementation, driving growth, profitability, and sustainability for long-term shareholder value.In my most recent role, I provided financial leadership for a private medical company operating 9 physiotherapy / chiropractic clinics, with a strong focus on rapid growth and expansion. Under my direction, the company grew from 1 to 9 clinics and 12 to 90 employees with a 75% increase in turnover. I centralised key functions to create a solid platform for growth, attracting private equity investment to progress an ambitious expansion programme, and re-engineered the clinic remuneration model, increasing company turnover by 8% and profit by 3%. One of my key strengths is establishing context for financial information, constructing a narrative that provides a holistic overview to senior stakeholders, enabling strategic planning. I have overseen numerous systems implementations, typically decreasing back-office costs and delivering fully integrated systems with vastly improved accuracy and efficiency.A collaborative finance leader, I apply a transparent and consultative management style and harness exceptional stakeholder management skills to build trust and ensure values are aligned, encouraging a culture of continuous improvement.
