Practical FD provides “an excellent and focused Finance Director and has been working with our company for over ten years, assisting and taking responsibility for all areas of financial control. His wide range of experience brings useful insight to the Company, he is very discrete, and I regularly use him as a confidante and sounding board on all aspects of our business. He also has a good sense of humour, is an excellent communicator and gets on at all levels. He is really proficient with IT and has designed and improved many systems within our organisation. I highly recommend Practical FD to any business looking for a proactive commercial FD.”

“Mike has been an important member of the senior management team as the Company has grown significantly over the last 5 years. He brought the finance department in-house and set up all controls and reporting. He was invaluable in our recent PE backed investment, providing all the financial forecasts and successfully running the DD process for us. Mike was a hands-on professional CFO who’s easy to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.”

“Mike worked with us for approximately 15 months, filling an emergency gap after a sudden departure of our Finance Manager. He took immediate control of the finances of the business, working closely with our Head Office for reporting and preparing our Year End accounts, working with our accountants and following through to the audit. Throughout the time he was with us Mike worked to set up new processes and systems for our growing business and was a popular member of the team. Capable, approachable, flexible and professional, I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike to another organisation who could benefit from his high-level accounting and finance expertise”
