Business Vision
To enable business owners to gain more freedom, through expert advice at every stage of their journey we aim to look after our clients, colleagues and the wider community and will always promote sustainable business practices.
I’m Bob,
founder and CEO at Insight FD.
My number one job is to listen to you; I want to understand you, your values and your goals & aspirations, and then get right under the skin of your business.
As a CIMA-qualified finance director, I analyse your finances to help your business grow sustainably. I help you to understand your numbers to meet KPIs, prepare realistic forecasts and maximise your profits in line with your goals.
I’ve worked across multiple sectors throughout my career, from construction, retail services, manufacturing and the service sector. I have advised everyone from sole-traders, start-up & multi-million turnover businesses and, although I am an accountant by background & training, my advice covers all commercial aspects of running a business. I carry out systems reviews & implement profit improvement programmes.
I try to lead by example: I love my work, but I also believe in maintaining a healthy work / life balance, making time for family, friends, theatre, movies, wood turning and running.
Client Feedback
As a business advisor, Bob has been an excellent and insightful source of knowledge on areas ranging from the strategic to the nitty gritty – all delivered in a very personable manner. I can wholeheartedly recommend the benefits his outside perspective will bring to your business.
