Company financial statements and corporation tax
Business planning and modelling
After qualifying with a Big Eight accountancy firm (now PwC), Martin joined a large US consumer electronics company which is credited with introducing the first genuine laptop computer. Heading up the finance and operations functions for the UK business, Martin was exposed to all aspects of financial administration, systems implementation, performance management, HR and cost control whilst managing significant and fast growth. When the company was sold to a larger competitor, Martin played a key role in aiding the merging of the operations.
From there, Martin took on a direct selling computer manufacturer based in Bristol. After becoming general manager, he led a management buyout of the UK business and grew it to a turnover exceeding £10m from public sector and commercial contracts. The company was eventually sold to a trade competitor.
Martin was then introduced to a regional multi-site retailer with ambitious plans for growth. On joining, the business was carrying high levels of debt and many underperforming businesses. During his time with the Company, the marginal businesses were sold, debt was repaid and the core business completely reengineered. The business became a market leader in its field and Martin helped attract private equity finance to fund further development and growth.
Since Astrum Accountants has been running, Martin has been involved with a number of consultancy based assignments in addition to providing accountancy and tax services for client businesses in a range of sectors:
