Testimonials

When the Covid crisis started in early 2020 our business was affected.

Ian helped us by putting together plans based on different scenarios, illustrating what our performance and cash position was likely to be. The plans being updated as circumstances changed.

By using these plans we were able to see what changes needed to be made in order for us to continue running the business during the downturn.

Having someone with Ian’s knowledge and experience on hand when we needed help and advice, helped us to navigate our way through the hard months.

We continue to work with Ian and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Testimonials

Having worked with Ian before, when Caldwell needed the help of an Interim Finance Director, we had no hesitation in turning to him to fill that role. Having Ian on board allowed us to carry on business as usual, gave us the breathing space to find the right person for the permanent role and allowed for a smooth transition between FD’s.

In addition, having Ian as an extra resource enabled us to complete some essential projects for the Company.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Ian or using him again.

Testimonials

As a small, but rapidly expanding business, we required the experience and expertise of a Finance Director to help us with our planning and setting the business up to cope with this growth….

Having someone like Ian, available as and when we need him, helped us to meet our expansion plans as well as our budget, perfectly.

Testimonials

When one of our UK Companies found itself needing extra resource to help manage the Finance Team and complete the year end, critical for both UK and International reporting, Ian was able to step in at short notice and take up the reins.

Ian ensured that the Audit and all reporting was completed on time, “rolling his sleeves up” where required. He also facilitated the restructuring of the finance team as it was moved to central processing.

When other ad hoc projects arose, Ian was able to take these on board and deliver what the company needed. I would certainly recommend Ian, his experience along with his pragmatic and down to earth approach to the work undertaken gave us confidence that the job would get done.

Testimonials

Ian helped with a project to improve the financial reporting of the company.

He coached the team to identify the different income streams and associated costs within the company and showed us how to identify other non-financial KPI’s such as bookings per employee. As a result of the company has been able to identify the profitability of different areas of the business and the areas that are resource intensive.

His coaching has enabled us to fine tune the reports required by management and to produce new reports and KPI’s that help decision making. As a result of Ian’s help we now have a better understanding of the business and can make more informed decisions.

“I know how my business is doing, right down to the last penny.”

Feb 12, 2021 | News

This could be controversial, especially coming from an accountant, but if you do know how your business is doing down to the last penny, then you need help. (I don’t mean psychologically!) Whilst it is good for a business to manage its finances properly (every penny...
