I am a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, having originally qualified with KPMG. I have a depth of experience and an understanding of what it takes to own and run your own enterprise. 

With previous management team experience of turning around a consulting engineering business from a £300k loss making, to £5m turnover, with £1m profit within 5 years. We employed a number of strategic actions which included refinancing the business to remove directors’ personal guarantees and charges over personal property, managed cash to bring the business to a debt free position and removed an absentee majority stakeholder. Following these successful actions the business went to a trade sale.

During the economic downturn of 2008 – 2009 I managed the finances of a private equity backed £3m turnover PR firm, ultimately taking it through a trade sale and asset sale. This included managing the financial aspects of the business into the new owner.

I spent over 10 years with an international PR group (£45m turnover) providing commercial and strategic financial advice to the leadership to two of the groups divisions. During this time I was involved with the sale from Founder owned to private equity. Then with a later sale from private equity to private equity.

I founded HMRB Associates because I strongly believe that smaller businesses and business owners have much to gain from the insight and skills that a Finance Director brings. By providing my services On-Demand, your business can have access to valuable, actionable advice.
