A commercially minded finance leader who blends three lenses: practice accounting, management accounting, and corporate finance advisory. Ben's focus is on helping founders and leadership teams turn financial information into clear, actionable decisions - not spreadsheets for their own sake.

Ben has worked with businesses across their entire life cycle from pre-revenue through to Series A and onto exit planning and preparation at the other end of the spectrum. Coming from a National Corporate Finance Boutique, Ben has hands-on experience building the documents required for a raise, and crucially, how to position them to align founders goals and ideas to the outputs that investors are expecting to see.

Ben has worked across a number of industries, including Life Sciences, MedTech, SaaS (Legal tech, HR tech and AI enabled technology) as well as more traditional industries in engineering and manufacturing. He previously worked as a Finance Director for a Neuro Wellbeing charity providing actionable insights to drive positive business decisions including implementing KPI's to allow bench marking for the stakeholders of the charity, Departmental costing analysis to help support grant funding and Income Optimisation - whereby he identified underutilised parts of the site and sought out additional revenue streams to supplement other funding.

Alongside startup and SME finance support through Catalyst Financial Consultants Ltd, Ben is actively involved in a number of live fundraises and works alongside a partner on a limited number of Corporate Finance engagements.
