Background

About Nick Chadwick

I am an experienced Planning and Pricing Manager with a background in Management Accounting, having qualified with CIMA in 2017. I worked for 23 years in a blue chip organisation across various functions, providing me with a wealth of knowledge and experience in a fast-paced, challenging environment.Most of my career has been spent in commercially focussed roles, working both on my own or as part of a team. I have managed several interesting projects over recent years with a particular focus on process and profitability improvement. I have used my expertise, and leant my excel skills at times, in delivering quality results, whilst often challenging the status quo, and ultimately adding value to the organisation. I would describe myself as a logical, analytical, dedicated professional who loves getting involved in the technical aspects of business. I always enjoy learning new things both inside and outside of work and I'm very much a goal-orientated person - my mantra is to always strive to make a positive difference in whatever you are doing (otherwise, why bother?).KEY AREAS OF EXPERTISE: Pricing Strategy Leading and delivering projects Internal Cost Control Business process improvement Financial Analysis Budgeting Forecasting Financial Modelling Data Analysis Business Partner Financial Reporting Variance Analysis People Management Coaching Management Accounting (CIMA) Advanced Excel VBA Oracle Products CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS: Successfully launched and priced over 60 new products (with accompanying services) with a focus on margin analysis, pricing position, sign-off controls, and incentives to help drive higher revenue growth Designed and developed the UK and ROI Sales pricing books (Excel based tool) which incorporated margin controls, deal sign-off triggers and an incentive scheme for the 120+ account managers Lead a cross-functional project analysing unprofitable clients and identified 10+ instances of fraudulent customer behaviour, provided evidence for the Legal department which lead to successful prosecutions, and the recovery over significant amounts of stock (plus ongoing annual cost savings) As a Finance Business Partner successfully managed a £96 million turnover business unit, ensuring accuracy of it budgets and forecasts and reporting on the reasons behind variances
