Hugh Andrews

I managed Tim for four years and found him to be a very good all-round accountant. He has good commercial understanding, excellent technical knowledge and communicates clearly to both financial and non-financial audiences. Tim consistently went above and beyond to meet deadlines, improve processes, train and develop colleagues and ensure internal and external stakeholders received relevant and timely information.

David Cox

Tim was my financial business partner for large digital projects at the CIPD, which is central to our growth and customer engagement strategy. A great strength of Tim is his ability to communicate effectively with non-financial staff, which is essential through a large organisation transformation. He provides accurate budgets, forecasts and project accounts with clear, concise commentary which explain the story behind the numbers and highlight future opportunities and risks. Importantly Tim shows initiative and the willingness to go the extra mile to provide additional analysis and information.
