About Our Founder

We’re not just accountants, we’re founders and entrepreneurs who have lived the highs and lows of building businesses from the ground up. At the heart of our firm is a founder who understands exactly what it takes to launch, scale, and succeed. With a background that blends financial rigour and startup grit, we offer more than advice, we offer experience.

Our founder is a qualified chartered accountant with 20 years of experience, including time at PricewaterhouseCoopers. A serial entrepreneur, investor, and tech innovator, he has built companies in industries spanning professional services, marketing, pharmaceuticals, tech (including AI and blockchain), and energy. He has successfully raised capital, exited two ventures, and authored a book on automation, all while mentoring and lecturing at London University on startup strategy and growth.

I’ve made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and seen what works. Now, I’m here to help other founders build smarter and grow faster."
