Collette is an ACA-qualified Finance Director who helps ambitious SME businesses scale with confidence and control. With over 25 years’ experience in the UK and internationally, she has worked across sectors including fashion, consumer goods and creative industries. Trained with a Big Four firm, she understands both the discipline of robust financial management and the fast-moving, entrepreneurial nature of growing businesses.
Collette specialises in helping owner-led and high-growth companies navigate the challenges of expansion — from improving cash flow and profitability to putting in place scalable systems and governance. She has led restructurings, secured funding, negotiated partnerships, and built finance functions that give business leaders the clarity and confidence to make better decisions.
Unlike many finance professionals, Collette combines strong financial expertise with hands-on commercial and operational experience. She has run international logistics, overseen system integrations, and worked directly in retail, wholesale, and e-commerce. This means she can spot opportunities to improve efficiency, boost margins, and drive growth — not just report on the numbers.
Pragmatic and collaborative, Collette brings strategic insight while rolling up her sleeves where needed. Whether you need sharper financial planning, better visibility on cash, or the right structure in place for growth, she helps SMEs build resilience and unlock long-term value.
