  • RORA
    CEO
    RORA

  • RORA
    Co-founder & COO
    RORA
    Aug 2023 - Jul 2025 (2 years)
  • RORA
    COO
    RORA
    Jan 2023 - Aug 2023 (8 months)
    Accounting is living in the past. It's not delivering for accountants, and it's not delivering for our most innovative businesses.
  • RORA
    Director
    RORA
    Feb 2020 - Jan 2023 (3 years)
    Revolutionising how accountants and those in finance work with startups.

    Building structures to support their recruitment, training and development until: every accountant has a fulfilling career; and every business the right talent for growth.
  • RORA
    FinOps Lead
    RORA
    Feb 2020 - Jan 2021 (1 year)
    I was finally able to deliver the things I'd learnt working at JAAK and as a freelancer to many more startups and scaleups.

    I got the impact and variety I was looking for while working with some of the most exciting businesses in London.
  • C
    Startup Financial Consulting
    Custody Digital Group
    Sep 2019 - Feb 2020 (6 months)
    Taking what I'd learnt at JAAK, I realised that what startups needed wasn't more accountants.

    They needed someone who could put in place financial systems and help them build out the financial operational parts of their business.

    So that's what I did. They needed FinOps, I just didn't call it that, yet.
  • JAAK
    First in Finance & Operations
    JAAK
    May 2018 - Dec 2019 (1 year 8 months)
    This was my chance to put my audit and accounting skills into practice as the first in a finance team at JAAK.

    BUT. The complexities of building out blockchain-based royalty-collection infrastructure weren't close to being covered in the ACA.

    Building out the financial operations from scratch in a fast-growing startup is the steepest of learning curves.

    But finally I had found a job that gave me everything I needed: excitement, challenge, variety, and fun!

    The best of people and the best of times.
  • PwC
    Audit & Accounting
    PwC
    Apr 2012 - May 2018 (6 years 2 months)
    I joined PwC to learn skills that would last me a lifetime and to join a cohort of people ready to make a real difference in one of the most prestigious firms in the world.

    I'd joined a Big 4 firm but I found a lot of the people there were disillusioned about the tedious work, long hours and slippery corporate ladder.

    I made some life-long friends but I found the skills I'd learnt didn't have the same longevity or applicability.

    I knew I needed more from my career.
