Selected Testimonials

Richard has taken care of our finance department for the last 6 years and during that time has completely overhauled the whole department and all of the systems and procedures. He successfully moved us from Sage to Xero and various associated apps, smoothly and with no downtime. He and the new team he recruited navigated us through our first mandatory audit, on time and without incident, even though the existing finance team lead had just gone on long term sick and wasn't around to consult on anything. Richard is a proactive problem solver and will push any project through to completion, I can always be confident that if I have asked Richard something, he will make it happen. 

Gemma Allen-Muncey - Operations Director

As a VC funded tech start up, we needed someone to build the foundations of our finance team, someone who understood the investor information needs and someone who could navigate the short term requirements with the longer term growth needs. Richard has provided just that and continues to support, build and grow our finance team while working closely with the wider management team. I would certainly recommend this service.

Benjamin Hay - COO

Richard has been a fantastic advisor and consultant to BRIDGE through a significant finance transformation which had a knock on to most of our operational processes.  He also supported us navigating through a share scheme changeover and making changes across our external advisors and financial partnerships to enable us to be as efficient as possible globally.

His pragmatism and commercial focus supported us in a way which fits very much with our culture - a light touch navigation, operating in partnership to make decisions and to activate change from within the Finance team.  His expertise and learns from his other clients really helped us think differently about how we could change for the better.  Thank you for all your support and Care.
