Meet The Advisers: Finance

Watch back: A panel of experts answer questions on all things finance - including cash flow, budgeting, forecasting and investment.

&lt;p&gt;I am a &lt;strong&gt;chartered certified accountant&lt;/strong&gt;, having earned a respected reputation in the field of accounting, with more than &lt;strong&gt;15 years of experience&lt;/strong&gt; in working with small and medium-sized enterprises.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having worked with business owners ranging from one-man start-ups to large companies requiring different level of services, I have developed a passion for the profession and I am driven by the success of my clients.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have spent many years in business working at boardroom level, holding various positions before being motivated to start my own practice, Makesworth Accountants, where I have blended my technical skills in accounting and tax with my business skills derived from my time in the industry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have embraced the changing times and technologies and strongly agree that accountants are moving from being number crunchers to being reliable and trusted advisors. Throughout this process, Makesworth has been able to secure various affiliations and awards:&lt;br /&gt;

Chartered Accountant

Accountancy, Taxation and Business Advisory

Accountancy, Taxation and Business Advisory Services in the UK

&lt;p&gt;In my early career&amp;nbsp;I was national sales manager and&amp;nbsp;board director&amp;nbsp;within private and publicly&amp;nbsp;owned businesses,&amp;nbsp;before forming my own consultancy practise in 2003,&amp;nbsp;where it was my aim&amp;nbsp;to bring professional support for meticulous planning and development&amp;nbsp;to other independent companies. I&amp;nbsp;became a full member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Levitt Group in 2006,&amp;nbsp;becoming&amp;nbsp;Chartered in 2009.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since 2003, I have worked with Royal Warrant holding businesses&amp;nbsp;allied to the construction industry&amp;nbsp;in manufacturing, wholesaling&amp;nbsp;and services,&amp;nbsp;whilst also working with non-Warrant holding companies in the retail and leisure sectors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2012&amp;nbsp;Enterprise Nation invited me to help support members like you through&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;accredited Growth Voucher scheme;&amp;nbsp;this work saw me recognised by those clients who had benefitted from my support and in 2015 I was honoured to be named, &amp;#39;One of Britain&amp;#39;s Top 50 Small Business Advisors&amp;#39;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2013&amp;nbsp;I was invited to join an executive board&amp;nbsp;to support the management and shareholders of that company as an NED and more recently&amp;nbsp;I became an ambassador for a financial services firm which&amp;nbsp;works together with me to support business owners expand and ultimately sell their businesses. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Throughout the many years my practise has been running,&amp;nbsp;I have received some truly wonderful endorsements&amp;nbsp;which have all been generously written by my clients, all&amp;nbsp;of whom I&amp;nbsp;can now count as friends. If you believe my experience and skills can help you with the&amp;nbsp;hopes and desires you have for your business and you would like to read these endorsements, I&amp;#39;d be happy to share them with you, so please get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Away from work,&amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m a keen&amp;nbsp;yachtsman and dinghy racer (unfortunately, due to&amp;nbsp;time and my age I&amp;#39;m prevented from doing this other than for the fun/challenge of it!).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best wishes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nigel Davis, MCIM Chartered Marketer&amp;nbsp;(07963-187091)&lt;/p&gt;

Voted 'One of Britain's Top 50 Small Business Advisors'
