THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Hello, I’m Edward.

I’m a finance and bookkeeping professional with more than 14 years of practical experience across bookkeeping, financial administration, management reporting and operational finance.

My finance career started in 2012. Since then I have progressed through finance and administration work, junior and senior accounting roles and broader responsibility for management accounts, month-end processes, budgeting and forecasting, cash-flow monitoring, reconciliations, debtors, creditors, payroll administration and financial reporting.

I have worked close to the operational side of businesses as well as the accounting records themselves. That matters because useful finance support is not only about entering transactions; it is about understanding how the records connect to cash flow, costs, month-end results, controls and the decisions management needs to make.

My approach is practical and disciplined: work from supporting records, reconcile before reporting, keep unresolved items visible and make the financial position easier to understand. With MATTLY, you deal directly with me and we agree the work, responsibilities and communication routine before getting started.

Discuss your business with me

People · Processes · Progress

A clear working relationship matters as much as the figures. Discuss the business question, agree the responsibilities and build a practical routine around the records available.

  • People: a direct conversation about what you need and who is responsible.
  • Processes: supporting documents, reconciliations, visible queries and agreed reporting.
  • Progress: completed work and clear next steps, with unresolved matters kept in view.

A careful approach to information

Agree access and document-sharing arrangements before work starts. Keep sensitive documents and credentials out of public enquiries. Source-document discipline and clear responsibilities help make the work traceable and understandable.
