Timon AI is a specislist Fractional CFO & AI based Finance Transformation Consultancy
Finance Director / CFO / CEO; and Chartered Accountant (ICAEW FCA) with over 20 years' experience supporting investment-led businesses and PE-style value creation. I partner with Boards, founders, and investment stakeholders to improve cash generation, sharpen performance insight, strengthen governance, and professionalise finance functions, from operator-grade reporting to investor-grade decision support.
My focus is execution in complex environments: establishing high-quality portfolio reporting and FP&A, upgrading controls and risk management, improving working capital and cash conversion, and driving margin and cost-base improvement. I am comfortable across multi-entity groups and fast-moving businesses, translating operating reality into clear investment narratives, decision options, and measurable value-creation plans.
I bring strong technical accounting (IFRS/GAAP), hands-on leadership, and a track record across budgeting/forecasting, cashflow management, business partnering and stakeholder management. Typical engagements include board-pack redesign, portfolio performance cadence (KPIs + commentary), funding support, performance turnaround, and transaction readiness (buy-side/sell-side support and integration planning).
