Sector experience
About
I have spent the last nine years working with owner-managed businesses in a variety of industries.

- Driving controls/processes and implementing best practice.
- Assisting with commercial issues and advising accordingly.
- Identifying and acting on tax planning opportunities.
- Being a sounding board and independent advisor to the board of directors/owner.
- Attending management/board meetings.
- Overseeing the production of accurate monthly management information, develop KPI’s and tracking.
- Assist with preparation of on-going forecasts updating as required.
- Maintaining relationships with external stakeholders (banks, solicitors etc.)
