Background

About James Williamson

I am ACA qualified with both accounting and operational experience in both established and start up businesses. I have been one of the key members of CarMoney, helping grow the business from 7 employees to 45 employee, increasing turnover by 6 times. Running along side this I have been a key part of the management team that has turned the business around from a loss making position to profit making. I also have five years auditing experience with Grant Thornton and EY which has given an invaluable knowledge of the statutory accounting process whilst allowing me to work with with a range of clients across varying sectors. The roles in audit (upto manager level) have also give me invaluable project management and team management skills. I also have 18 months’ experience in industry in the motor trade, working in the group finance team of a fast paced and entrepreneurial organisation. This has allowed me to gain a strong commercial understanding of all business aspects including cash flow management, working capital management, budgeting and forecasting, operational efficiencies and an understanding of the marketing process and HR.
