What People Are Saying
“ As part of our Management Training programme here at Alitex we engaged Niall [backpocket-CFO] to cover finance; in the event it turned out to be one of the more engaging and memorable aspects of the entire course. Niall’s ability to keep business finance simple and meaningful ensured that not only was the participants’ understanding greatly enhanced by the end of the day, they learned not to fear, and even enjoy, the numbers. Through clarity of explanation and practical interaction Niall delivered a real master class in financial learning.”
— Tom Hall Managing Director, Alitex Limited
“ Niall engaged with Rant & Rave for over 12 months in capacity as Interim CFO. We required a significant re-structure requiring strategic, tactical and operational work streams. His amazing work ethic, integrity, technical skill, hands-on approach and communication ability meant that he left us in excellent shape. Throughout, he felt like a permanent member of the Leadership Team, and a Raver. Upon completion, the Team's morale was high, customer relationships good and our financial situation even stronger than we hoped for. Thanks Niall, I would highly recommend you.”
— Nigel Shannahan Former CEO, Rant & Rave Limited
“ Niall is an amazing person to have on your team. I was fortunate to work with Niall at Dedipower Managed Hosting, and we formed a real partnership very quickly. Niall's attention to detail is second to none, and he manages to see potential problems before they become chaotic situations. He also is able to do this in a very calm and collected manner, something I truly appreciated in my time working with him. Niall was critical to the outcome of the successful exit to private equity. Through out that stressful process, Niall was able to help us all stay one step ahead, and certainly helped me to focus on continuing leadership and direction of the overall company, knowing that he had the financials well under control. ”
— Chris Miller Former CEO, Dedipower Managed Hosting Limited
“ Niall's consultancy has been hugely valuable. His experience working with agencies of our size, and at our lifecycle stage, has given us a clear focus. He has supported our leadership development, implementation of processes that allow us to monitor key business indicators, and new systems that support our growth aspirations.”
— Jonny Murch Managing Director, Red Torch Limited
“ Niall [backpocket CFO] has educated me in all financial matters relating to the running of my Company and, as a result, I have been able to organise the running of my business much more efficiently, improved cash flow and implemented systems which have streamlined the day to day running of the organisation.”
— Peter Mason Managing Director Advance International Media Limited
“ I started working with Niall as my business mentor following contact via the Goldmann Sachs 10KSB programme. We hit it off straight away and we have worked with him as our Business Mentor ever since.
As an accountant by trade, he brings a detailed and precise clarity to our Monthly skype calls and quarterly site visit's. He has quickly boiled down the key constraint's of our business and industry and helps us focus on the ones we can control to realise our personal and business goals.
After every interaction we're relieved to have been set back on course with a focus on the key tasks for the next 90 days that will "move the needle". As we've worked with various business Mentor's in various guises over the years and read lots of Books, we feel lucky to have found him and plan to continue working with him for the long term!.”
