Financial Reporting Advisory

Executive summary

I collaborate to lead the Financial Reporting team nationally within Business Services & Outsourcing. Having qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2007, I am now a Fellow Chartered Accountant of the ICAEW specialising in supporting CFOs and finance teams to fulfil their ultimate score keeping, stewardship and business partnering roles so they can be successful in fostering trust and confidence in the financial reporting that underpins complex or critical business and investment decisions.

My personal approach is focused on each individual business’s needs which brings real, practical solutions, supporting businesses with a range of projects, typically upon occurrence of pressure points on their time and resources, which might arise from:

  • Accounting and regulatory changes (on the group-wide application of complex IFRS, UK GAAP, and of new sustainability reporting requirements)
  • M&A activity and group reorganisations (on acquisitions, divestments and carveouts accounting and policy determinations)
  • One-off accounting error or complex commercial transactions (on developing remediation strategies and/or accounting position papers)
  • Listing, capital raising and financing activity (on the accounting implications of new equity and debt instruments)
  • Skill shortfall and financial reporting process bottlenecks (by deploying further specialist capabilities)

My focus is on supporting large UK and international businesses. My experience spans across the public listed and privately owned markets and across a wide range of sectors including Consumer Markets, Life Sciences, Manufacturing and Technology & Media.
