Mike Denison

Mike qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Grant Thornton in London in 1985 having gained a Law Degree from Aberdeen University. He had 2 finance roles in industry between 1986 and 1990 including Director of a 250 person Architectural Design company with offices worldwide. In addition to the hands-on finance roles, he built up experience in Information Technology, implementing and integrating systems (including an IBM36 and a bespoke system on Apple Mac), mergers & acquisitions, and an abortive flotation.

In 1991, he established The Business of Business Limited, primarily to serve the needs of businesses whose complexity did not require nor could afford a full time Finance/IT Director but whose size and development needed regular access to that level of sophistication.

For the last 10 years, he has maintained the principle that any company's finance function should be a resource to be embraced not an overhead to be feared. The success of that approach can be evidenced in the attached case studies over a broad range of projects and business sectors.

Mike is both a Finance and an IT specialist carrying out interim Finance Director type assignments and implementing Management Information system (primarily but not exclusively using the MYOB range of software with whom he is a certified consultant.) He has also developed Corporate Finance skills qualifying as an FSA-approved person in 2002.
