I help founders and growing businesses improve financial visibility through cash flow forecasting, management reporting, KPI dashboards, profitability analysis, and commercial decision support. Most businesses already track revenue and costs. The real challenge is understanding what is actually driving profitability, operational inefficiencies, and cash flow performance underneath. What I can help you with: - Strategic operational support - FP&A support, variance analysis, and KPI reporting - Financial modelling (forecasting, budget vs actual, variance analysis, sensitivity analysis) - Board & executive-level reporting packs - Profitability, margin, and cost structure analysis - SME M&A support and deal analysis - Commercial due diligence support - Investment case and acquisition modelling - Enterprise value, equity value and deal structure analysis What clients typically get from me: - Faster, more reliable forecasting cycles - Cleaner, decision-ready financial reporting - Reduced manual Excel work through automation - Stronger visibility into profitability drivers - Models that are structured, scalable, and easy to maintain - Independent assessment of valuation assumptions - Clearer investment and acquisition decision making - Improved buyer and investor ready reporting - Commercial insights that support negotiations and transactions My background spans commercial finance, business analysis, operational strategy, and automation, which allows me to bridge the gap between finance, operations, and technology to deliver practical solutions that improve profitability, forecasting accuracy, reporting visibility, and decision making. I specialise in working with growing businesses that need help improving financial visibility, automating reporting, streamlining operations, and building scalable finance processes that support long term growth. I have supported commercial and investment decisions worth over £600m through financial modelling, scenario analysis, profitability reviews, forecasting, and business case development. My approach combines financial analysis with commercial thinking, helping businesses understand not just what the numbers say, but what they mean for valuation, growth, profitability, and strategic decision making. If you are looking for a strategic finance partner who can translate financial data into better commercial decisions, whether that’s improving profitability, evaluating an acquisition, supporting a business sale, or building investor ready financial models, I can help.
