About Andrew

One accountable expert. Not a software salesman.

I am Andrew Isaacs, a CIMA qualified Chartered Global Management Accountant. I came to finance through the operation, business partnering inside a FTSE 100 group and running finance inside a professional firm, and I bring that standard to growing businesses without the overhead.

AI does the heavy lifting. I make the decisions and sign the work.

Why us

I did not arrive at finance through the books. I arrived through the business.

That is the thread through everything. Finance is there to make the operation perform, not to sit beside it recording what already happened.

To 2017

From the operation

A career in sales, business management, operations, consultancy and running teams. I know what it is to carry a number and run a function, not just report on one.

2017 to 2023

Corporate grade partnering

I worked in finance business partnering inside BT and Openreach, part of a FTSE 100 group, partnering with the operation and building the models it ran on. After I left, teams still asked what I would say in the room.

2024 to 2025

Finance and operations as one

Head of Finance at a law firm in a fee earning capacity, with finance and operations working hand in hand rather than in separate boxes. Regulated, and close to the work.

How I work

Understanding first, then build.

It starts with you

Every engagement begins with understanding your business, your team, your processes and your data, and where the real friction is. Most clients start with a focused project to feel the value, then move to an ongoing partnership.

AI used properly

I use AI as the engine room, for the data processing and the routine, and I know how to build it into your workflows without disruption and without your confidential data going where it should not.

Flexible delivery

On site around Caterham and Surrey, remote across the UK, or a mix. Whatever suits how you work. No disruption, no hard sell.

A straight answer

An initial 30 minute conversation to understand your priorities and whether we are a good fit. If we are not the right help, I will tell you.

One expert, with cover

You get one accountable person who knows your business, not a team rotating through your account.

That is the point, and it is a strength. The AI gives me the capacity of a finance team, and the continuity question is handled honestly: documented processes, work that does not all live in one head, and named cover arrangements, so you are never exposed.

“AI does the heavy lifting. A qualified, experienced finance professional makes the decisions. Technology augments expertise, it never replaces it.”Andrew Isaacs ACMA CGMA, Founder
