“Last year marked a major step forward for our business. We navigated our first experience with private equity backing, significantly increased reporting expectations and the need to rapidly elevate financial capability across the Group. Glenn played a pivotal role in helping us meet and exceed that challenge.
From the outset, he integrated seamlessly with our team. His collegiate approach, clarity of communication and ability to rapidly grasp the pace and complexity of a business serving high-profile clients made him an invaluable partner. At a time of considerable change, he brought calm, structure and deep technical expertise precisely when it was needed.
Glenn delivered a number of critical milestones for the business, including:
- Building our first complete set of Group accounts and accompanying commentary, establishing a new benchmark for quality and clarity
- Producing acquisition accounting entries with precision and full alignment to stakeholder expectations
- Designing a comprehensive reporting, forecasting, budgeting and long-range planning model that now underpins our financial reporting
- Delivering robust forecasts across Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Cashflow at both entity and Group level
- Strengthening pipeline reporting, providing a far clearer and more reliable forward view
- Working closely with advisors to ensure clean, consistent, audit-ready ledgers
- Building strong and credible relationships with new stakeholders, including lenders, and representing the business with professionalism and confidence
Glenn did not simply deliver against a brief. He materially elevated our internal capability, helped us navigate a period of significant transition and instilled confidence in both management and investors through the strength and credibility of the numbers.
We are extremely grateful for his contribution and would highly recommend Glenn to any organisation seeking a strategic, collaborative and technically outstanding finance partner.”
“Having recently secured our first venture capital investment, we engaged Glenn as an Interim CFO on a part-time basis.
He helped us meet our new financial obligations to stakeholders. The flexible arrangement worked really well—allowing us to call upon Glenn’s expertise precisely when we needed it most.
He swiftly established rapport and trust with the entire team, integrating seamlessly into our operations.
Glenn guided us through reporting and budgeting, establishing a robust financial model that aligns effortlessly with our financial reporting systems.
The model incorporates three years of historical performance and up to five years of future projections, enabling us to flex assumptions and explore different demand scenarios.
With intuitive mapping tables and alternative cash flow reporting formats, it provides a dynamic framework for monthly forecasting, annual budgeting, and long-range planning.
Moreover, its consistent format streamlines our month-end reporting, saving valuable time and allowing us to focus on driving our growth agenda.
Beyond financial oversight, Glenn guided us through our corporate governance responsibilities, contributed to our growth strategy, and developed a business case template for evaluating investments.
He also supported recruitment efforts and introduced us to high-calibre HR and Marketing advisors, expanding our network with invaluable connections.
Glenn’s expertise extends far beyond the CFO remit, bringing the strategic insight of both a CEO and CFO as well as an experienced board member.
His guidance has been instrumental in shaping our financial strategy and reporting obligations, and we would thoroughly recommend Glenn and Milestones MK for fractional CEO/CFO expertise and board advisory services.”
