Fifteen years in finance. Still asking better questions.

I have been working in finance since before most people decide what they want to do with their careers. What started early and without a clear plan has become fifteen years of deliberate work across audit, FP&A, and transformation, spanning industries from oil and gas, real estate, and agriculture to retail, maritime, education, sports, food and beverage, investments, defence, and construction.

I hold the FCCA qualification and a First Class BSc in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University. I currently lead the FP&A function, working directly with the C-suite on planning, forecasting, and strategic decision-making, and increasingly on the harder question of how finance functions need to change to stay relevant.

What drives most of what I share is a simple observation. Finance functions that spend most of their time reporting the past rarely have capacity to shape the future. Closing that gap is what I spend my time on.
