Andrew Martin Consulting - Financial Management & Business Consultant

When we first approached Andy we had experienced growth as a company - both in terms of turnover and complexity - but had not experienced the necessary growth in our accounts team or systems. This meant that our financial reporting was poor, and this lack of reliable and timely information made it difficult to run the business

Andrew has been an invaluable asset to the Monks Yard team. When trying to grow a business, having the right financial reports to properly understand how your business is doing is essential. Not only did Andrew provide a solution for financial reporting he also helped us compose an action plan that enabled us to improve profitability.
