About Us

While I’m proud to be a highly qualified and experienced accountant, my true superpower lies in my curiosity.

When we partner, you’ll discover that my team and I are genuinely passionate about understanding you—your business, your motivations, your unique style, and the personal challenges you face.

By connecting deeply with you and your vision for the future, we can help you achieve your goals when you want to.

And if finance feels overwhelming or intimidating, that’s completely okay!

Many of our clients initially fear numbers and feel unsure about their business finances, often avoiding them altogether. But here’s where the magic happens—transformation.

As we work closely together, those fears will fade away, and numbers will become just another part of your journey that you can embrace.

We create a nurturing space where you feel empowered, safe, and supported, knowing your finances are under control. You’ll gain clarity on what’s possible and how to reach your goals with a straightforward, actionable plan.

As our relationship grows and your business flourishes, we’ll be beside you, guiding you through every step of your journey—from startup to exit if that’s your choice—and everything in between.

jon - accountant from core connect

I am a Chartered Accountant, a board member of the South London & Surrey Chartered Accountants (ICAEW), and a Fellow of the ICAEW. I have extensive expertise in accounting, financial reporting and analysis, due diligence, and corporate financial strategy. As Managing Director at Core Connect Accountants, I am committed to delivering high-quality financial and strategic advisory services that empower businesses to grow, adapt, and thrive.

I qualified as a Chartered Accountant at a reputable medium-sized accounting practice in London’s West End, where I worked with a diverse portfolio of clients across legal, medical, education, marketing, travel, and other service industries. My experience in professional practice gives me a deep understanding of the financial challenges faced by businesses across multiple sectors.

In industry, I have held influential finance roles at leading investment banks, including Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse. As Regional CFO for a $160bn restructuring division at Credit Suisse, my role was pivotal in shaping the division’s financial strategy, reducing exposure and costs by over 70%. My responsibilities included overseeing complex legal matters, managing a portfolio of distressed property assets, and ensuring the maintenance of a robust governance framework.

My experience in both professional practice and financial services complements Cindy’s expertise in commercial cash flow management, enabling Core Connect Accountants to provide a comprehensive and strategic approach to financial advisory. My role at ICAEW further reinforces my dedication to representing local businesses and supporting members in navigating today’s financial landscape.

Together with Cindy, I lead Core Connect Accountants as a trusted partner to businesses, offering expert guidance that is both technically rigorous and commercially astute.
