Background

About Ian Little

I’m a commercially focused, energetic CFO with a strong track record of working alongside entrepreneurial business owners to scale businesses, drive transformation, and deliver shareholder value. With nearly 30 years of experience across sectors including technology, software, construction, engineering, retail, and professional services, I bring a broad and pragmatic perspective to both strategic and operational challenges.Big 4 trained in Corporate Recovery, I moved into industry and played a key role in growing Access Technology Group from a £1m SME to a £50m PE-backed MBO. Since then, I’ve consistently delivered results in high-growth and change-driven environments, with a hands-on approach and a passion for building businesses, teams, and individuals.I’m equally comfortable in the boardroom and in the detail — advising on business planning, funding, M&A, exits, legal and contractual matters, corporate structure, HR, IT, and governance. I’m known for my ability to drive change, solve complex problems, and support leadership teams in achieving their goals.I’m now seeking Non-Executive Director opportunities where I can contribute independent oversight, commercial insight, and a collaborative approach to governance and growth.Specialties: Strategic Growth | M&A | Business Planning | Board Reporting | Post-Acquisition Integration | Cashflow Forecasting | R&D Tax Credits | Systems Implementation | Company Secretarial | Team Development
