Operations Manager (Procurement Change Process)

We are Financial Change Experts, trusted to provide Finance Transformations and End-to-End Process Improvements by Finance Leaders at Corporate, SMBs and Not For Profit organisations across the United Kingdom.

Finance Leaders:

We know first hand the demands and pressures you face from over 30 years of personal experience in the field, and from partnering with your peers across industries throughout the UK.

From the fears of risk and reputational damage, to the conflicting challenges of improving efficiency and upgrading out-dated Systems and Processes - all while lacking the resources and in-house knowledge to do the work managing projects and ensuring it is delivered to the highest quality and within budget

The desire to add beyond BAU and improve controls, reduce costs, onboard and manage the right suppliers, systematically track business spend and to prove that Finance is actually value-adding rather than a mere cost-centre to the Business.

How we can help you:

Financial Directors trust us within their organisations for a number of reasons;
- Dedicated and direct: we work directly with my clients, unlike a more expensive and hands-off agency that typically outsources work
- Deep Industry knowledge: we have a complete passion for the craft and bring that passion coupled with cross-industry knowledge and Best Practises whilst applying methodologies proven to be successful amongst Corporates, SMEs and Non-Profits
- Affordability: my team has managed to accomplish without our clients having to pay Big4 consulting fees or the commonly known 25% agency fees
- Results: Above all, we are proud of the results we get partnering with Financial leaders. From implementing new ways of working to having colleagues regain their passion for their day-to-day jobs, we have built a reputation for success.

My mission is to help you ensure your team is happier, leaner and more productive...and more than that; to ensure that you as a Financial Leader and your Team are recognised for the value you bring to your organisation.
