How I can help Entrepreneurs and SME leaders

BENEFITS

A fresh perspective:

Sometimes, all we need is a different point of view or a different skillset. Some of us feel the fear and dread of working the numbers. For me, numbers are my comfort zone, my so called "bread and butter”,  so I am confident I can give a valuable perspective. I will listen and observe and then provide an honest and independent opinion on the way forward.

Improved Results:

I can help you work towards better outcomes. Using my practical and logical attributes, I can ascertain and assess the key levers and drivers that a business may have, test and shape them for the future in order to help achieve goals with guidance and support.

Expertise and experience:

I have 3 decades of experience in a broad array of finance and leadership functions across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. In addition I am sector agnostic and enjoy applying myself to an industry, even with little prior experience. By using my fundamental principles, I am able to quickly assess and bring a perspective and independent view on the viability of a plan.

Accountability:

One of the biggest challenges in making changes is staying motivated and on track. I’ll help you set goals, make plans, execute the plans, and then measure the results. By beng a forward looking finance executive, this in itself motivates. I might use the past to give an idea but the future is where the focus lies.

MESSAGE FROM ANDREW

My personal statement

“As my mission demonstrates, my intention is to provide more than just a numbers exercise for my clients. I focus on the future where the true value of financial advice lies, rather than solely reporting the history, not least because the “past is not necessarily a guide for the future”, as is often said.
