Experience
Qualifying in 2004, Matt initially trained in Audit before moving to an operational role in a top10 accounting firm focusing on acquisitions and property transactions. As Senior Manager and then Director he then began to specialise in Outsourcing, working operationally on systems and process improvement.
Matt then led a specialist outsourcing firm based in London, with a large offshore team in India. He gained great experience in different operating models, and in the importance of client service and referrals in building a business.
Matt left professional services to spend time as FD of a 6-site restaurant business. This provided insight into the challenges of running a business, with property, operational systems, HR, technology and finance responsibilities.
Matt applies these varied experiences when advising his clients. Partner since 2018, he has built a specialist financial services outsourcing business out of London and is Service Line Leader for AOS.
