Mike Andrews

FD/CFO

I have 25 years of experience as a senior finance and commercial expert, well-practiced at leading finance strategy within SMEs, and divisions of large blue chip organisations, covering many different sectors. I am open, honest and approachable and I collaborate effectively with business owners and their teams and will go beyond the call of duty to achieve business goals. Since joining The CFO Centre, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many inspiring business leaders in the South East from Guildford to Hove to Kingston upon Thames.
