About Ian

As an experienced Finance Director, I help businesses make smart decisions through brilliant planning and the creative use of financial data.

I passionately believe that a financial plan is the most important tool that a business can employ. It is not a box-ticking exercise, or something to be grudgingly undertaken to satisfy an investor. It is a crucial process that helps you understand your business from all angles, to make difficult decisions on where to invest, and to prepare for whatever the future holds.

It’s not a once-a-year chore. It’s an ongoing, living, breathing process that evolves with the business.

I combine my expertise in planning and forecasting with over 20 years’ experience in business - making me the ideal sounding board, business partner, and finance director.

On top of that, I am also a qualified chartered accountant - bringing all of the financial rigour that you would expect.

The ability to see what others don’t. The capacity to convey complex issues easily. A natural approach in everything I do. This is what sets me apart.

Whether as a consultant for a planning project, or an ongoing partnership as a finance director/NED, I help businesses thrive.
