Get Connected

I'm an experienced Chartered Accountant with a demonstrated 13 year history of working in both practice and industry. I absolutely love what I do - helping business owners survive and thrive!
As a Maths graduate from the University of Nottingham, I completed my accountancy graduate scheme with PWC in Birmingham where my training was second to none. I received exposure to a variety of business sectors and gained expertise working with a diverse range of clients from owner-managed businesses to quoted plcs’. Client sectors included FTSE 350 companies, pension schemes, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and public sector.
After 10 years contracting in a range of different roles, my last being Finance Business Partner and Finance Director for Goodyear Dunlop UK, I decided to set up my own accountancy practice, Grant McKnight in 2018 and haven't looked back since.
I love to be involved in my local community, giving back some of my expert knowledge to business owners and contacts alike. I am an active committee member of the Sutton Coldfield Chamber of Commerce and the Birmingham and West Midlands Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales (ICAEW). I was also privileged to be nominated, shortlisted and finally chosen as the ‘Future Face of Finance 2020’ by the Future Faces Chamber of Commerce.
I am always happy to arrange an initial free consultation with prospective clients so feel free to contact me to find out how I could help, support and grow your business.

Managing Director

I'm a <a href='http://www.danmartinuk.com'>freelance content creator and event host</a> who helps small businesses and the organisations that support them. I have 18 years of experience as a small business journalist having interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs from billionaires like Sir Richard Branson to the founders behind brand new start-ups. I've worked for a range of leading small business publications and support groups, most recently as head of content at Enterprise Nation where I was responsible for the prolific output of content on the company's blog and social media. I'm based in Bristol where I run and host regular events with the local small business community and have strong connections to major business organisations in the south west region. In total, I've hosted over 50 events; from intimate meet-ups to conferences with an audience of hundreds including events for international brands like Facebook and Xero. I'm also a big fan of podcasts having hosted Enterprise Nation's Small Business Sessions as well as lots of online events including Facebook Live interviews, webinars and three live web chats from inside 10 Downing Street. With my partner, I co-run Lifestyle District, a lifestyle blog focused on culture, art, theatre and photography.

I'm here to help. I'm volunteering free advice calls of up to an hour as part of the Recovery Advice for Business scheme, over the next 6 months. Please get in touch to see how I can help your business.&nbsp;
