” Pete has taken time to understand us as a client. One of his main strengths is how he communicates our finances across the whole agency, making everyone more aware of how the commercial side of the business works.
“The biggest impact on our working day has been the transparency and absolute trust we have in our finances and reporting. Understanding the finances better allows us to plan the future far more efficiently.”
Nick Farrar, Shaped By

” We have never felt more confident with understanding our finances since working with Pete – we can now finally ‘trust the numbers’, and are able to make informed business decisions based on the insights and information Pete provides, something we’ve never had in the past.
“Pete has an ability to communicate financial information in ways that are clear, simple, accurate and always trustworthy.”
Kate Franklin, FranklinTill

” Pete goes to lengths to ensure you understand the financial terminology, and is always happy to provide examples and illustrate this in practice. A great problem solver.
“Pete has been able to automate data from Xero into our management accounts and client P&L enabling us to rely fully on the data. This automation has reduced the time required for our bookkeeping team to enter data and provide updates to the business. Without the innovation and ability to adapt to our business, we’d be losing hours a month on reporting and analysis, so Pete essentially pays for himself.”
Dan Neale, Alfred London

“Working with Pete is an absolute joy. He speaks our language, and is always positive and on-hand for any questions. We had been running smoothly for a number of years, but now thanks to the systems and infrastructure he has set in place we are able to take our company to the next level.
Since working with him the level of transparency and ownership we have over our finances has greatly improved, and we can now make really informed future-facing decisions, which makes a huge difference to our business..”
Caroline Till, FranklinTill

” I could not recommend Pete more highly. For any small business, dealing with the finances is a minefield, as often the person doing it is not an expert in this field, and it is incredibly time consuming. Pete has resolved both of these issues and much, much more.
Furthermore, when we are talking to potential inventors, having Pete’s complete financial model at our fingertips means we can field questions on our financials quickly and with confidence, and it demonstrates that we run a very well managed operation.”
Piers Curran, Amplify Trading

” We brought Pete in to support us in a finance director role as we moved our business from just a handful of employees, and into a growth phase. Pete did a hugely useful job of creating a more sophisticated approach to our management accounts, and creating a live document we could check in on at any time.
This data has been invaluable to us while we grew, giving clarity on where we had come from as a business and what we needed to do moving forward. Pete was great to work with, bringing a wealth of experience and advice, as well as being highly responsive to ideas and requests. I’d highly recommend working with him.“
