About Andrew McKellar

TRANSFORMING your PEOPLE, PROCESSES and FINANCIAL REPORTS. Companies who engage me are typically in a place where they wish their numbers gave a clear picture, their finance team were all on the same page, and their finance processes could withstand the “rough and tumble” of business life. Working directly for you, in partnership with your existing accountants, you see lasting benefits month on month. In only a few days, you see big returns across the people, process and reporting Hesitant to recruit full time resource or reach out to expensive accounting firms, you want a problem solver, not someone who gives you work to do.
