About BeckyThe longer way around.
And better for it.
Some people always knew they'd work in finance. I wasn't one of them - at least, not at first.
I took a more interesting route - and it turned out to be a better one.
I started with a physics degree, which led into a technical manufacturing business - working across purchasing, supply chain, and ERP systems. It wasn't an obvious path into finance, but it turned out to be an extraordinary foundation. It gave me something many financial professionals don't have: a deep, practical understanding of how a business actually operates from the inside - the systems, the processes, the moving parts that sit behind every set of numbers.
From there I ran my own company, trading internationally - managing the finances, navigating multicurrency transactions, and dealing with the complexity of importing and exporting across borders.
What followed was a senior finance role in a high-growth business operating across multiple countries - responsible for financial reporting to an international parent company, HR, compliance, and building the operational infrastructure that a scaling organisation depends on. Demanding, high-pressure, and exactly the kind of environment that teaches you things no classroom ever could.
Along the way I completed my ICB qualification, passing with distinction (with honours!) - not to fill a gap in knowledge, but to put a formal framework around everything accumulated through years of real, varied, hands-on experience. If you can navigate international trade, multicurrency accounting, complex system integration, and the operational demands of a fast-scaling organisation, everything else becomes considerably more straightforward!
Alongside all of this, I have worked with small businesses and family businesses across a wide range of sectors, and taken on treasurer responsibilities for schools and charitable organisations - including serving as a school governor. Each has added something: a different perspective on how organisations work, how risk shows up in practice, and what it actually means to be responsible for the health of an organisation - financial or otherwise. It all finds its way into how I work with clients.
The same thing, over and over.
Until I decided to do something about it.
I founded Numerarti because I kept seeing the same thing: business owners - capable, hardworking, genuinely good at what they do - struggling with the financial side. For most, the only financial relationship they had was with an accountant at year end. The tax return got filed, the boxes got ticked - and that was it. Nobody looking at the numbers in between. Nobody asking what they actually meant for the business.
It doesn't have to be that way - and helping business owners realise that is exactly what I'm here for.
Numerarti brings together everything I've learned across over two decades - manufacturing, international trade, high-growth multinational environments, schools, charities, and family businesses - and puts it to work for the people who need it most: small business owners who deserve more than a once-a-year conversation about tax.
I recently came across my old school Record of Achievement. It turns out I always wanted to work in finance and accounts. It seems I just took the scenic route.
This is not just financial management. It's financial partnership - and there's a difference.
