Stewart Marshall’s Summary
I help organisations tell their story through numbers.
Certified and Chartered Management Accountant (CMA/ACMA), with Canadian and European experience in technology, retail, distribution and telecommunications companies. I analyse, understand and communicate the core drivers of commercial success.
Specific focus on strategic planning, budgeting and forecasting. I assess, improve and implement end-to-end financial processes which support business operations development and drive value.
I enhance systems and operational processes to increase the clarity and understanding of all parts of the business. From supply chain / operations and finance, through to sales / marketing I provide insight into each function’s contribution to executing business strategy.
An inspiring leader of finance/operational teams. I am a persuader, mentor and negotiator; strong on risk assessment and experience in post acquisition integration, system migrations and business expansions.
