Who I am:
I am a qualified accountant and chartered tax adviser. So what!? There are lots of those kinds of people about. I have an accountant already I hear you cry...
I have over 22 years experience in commercial finance roles in large and smaller media and creative service organisations.
At various key stages in agency life, there is the need for expertise to be brought in-house to:
- Review and assess, benchmark or analyse
- Drive the key steps - overseas, improve performance or build for exit.
What makes me different is that I have worked within agencies in "hands on" roles where I have had to make change happen as well as identifying the changes that were needed.
I lived with the implications of the changes that I made and learnt what worked and what did not.
During my time at Omnicom and within independent agencies I learnt the practical and pragmatic solutions as well as the technical skills.
I have successfully built start-up businesses and have an appreciation of what is required to transform ambition into reality.
How we can work together:
I can engage with you on either a project basis when there is a significant step on the horizon, or on a retained basis.
The benefit of a retained relationship is that much of what is done within finance is best worked on in iterations - each month make things better and have a shopping list of areas to work on.
There is a core of basic accounting and legal work that can be performed by others within the business. I will always look to work with the team that you have to get value from those assets.
Why not get in touch to see how we can work together.
