Background

About Neil Chappell

I am a commercially driven Head of Finance with over 20 years’ experience helping businesses scale profitably across healthcare, insurance, technology and publishing. I work as a true business partner to leadership teams, translating numbers into clear actions that drive margin, cash and sustainable growth.I currently lead the finance function for a growing business, owning the full financial agenda across performance management, forecasting, cash flow, investment cases and operational decision-making. My focus is not just on reporting results, but on shaping them, ensuring the business understands what is driving profitability and where to intervene.Alongside strong commercial leadership, I have a proven track record of leading transformation, including ERP implementations, finance process redesign and building high-performing teams that can support scale. This gives leadership teams better data, faster insight and tighter financial control, without slowing the business down.I am known for combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution: improving EBITDA, strengthening cash generation and enabling management teams to make confident, data-led decisions. My style is pragmatic, collaborative and outcome-focused.ACCA Fellow | Head of Finance | Commercial & Transformation Leader
