Jon Dudgeon's Linkedin Analytics

CoFounder and CEO at Blu Sky Chartered Accountants, an award winning accountancy practice. I am a strong believer that a scaling business's finance team should be a founders most important ally when growing their business. My career as an accountant started with Arthur Andersen in Leeds where I gained experience of working with a variety of clients and met some great and wonderful people. Following the demise of Arthur Andersen (nothing to do with me I must add!!), I joined Deloitte as an Audit Manager where I had responsibilty for delivering a full range of audit services, business process advice and assurance to growing medium sized and FTSE 100 firms across the UK. After working in the Big Four for six years I decided it was time to leave practice and see what was going on in the real world!!! So to get this new perspective I ventured into the Financial Service Sector, firstly working for Aviva and then more recently GE Money and Santander. In 2009 I cofounded BLU SKY with Dave Gibson. Our vision is to develop a practice that is known nationally for delivering value driven, 'top notch' client service and business advice. Having said all of the above though the biggest compliment that anyone has ever given me is 'you are not really an accountant are you!'.... Specialties: Today - delivery of accountancy, taxation and business services that are tailored to the needs of high growth scale up businesses across the UK. Harnessing the latest cloud technology to create robust efficient financial processes. In the past - Business Process GAP Analysis including the full spectrum of Internal Audit Services, Risk management, Change and Project Management and most other aspects of Financial Management needed in a blue chip environment.
