I've built and scaled fast-growing FinTech products as a founder and operator.

Oh, and I love riding motorbikes and climbing mountains.

A bit about me…

Having played rugby for a number of years, I later traded it in for a career in accountancy. After spending 10+ years in practice, industry and management consultancy I founded my first accountancy business ‘Incisive’ in 2011. 

The company was sold in 2013, I then took an Finance Director role with an FMCG giant, which is when I geared myself up for my biggest venture yet - Accountancy Cloud. 

Since inception in 2015 we’ve gone from strength to strength - we now have a team of 30 dedicated staff, 3 offices, and have worked with UK's best fast-growing startups and scaleups.
