Meet the leadership

Colin Sweetman | Co-Founder & Operations Director
I am a Chartered Certified Accountant and first became interested in accounting from a technological aspect in 2014.
I oversaw the migration of a £24 million turnover retailer making it paperless and automatic. I really enjoy creating and transforming business processes, either with workarounds, hacks or starting from scratch.

Mark Sweetman | Co-Founder & Managing Director
As a Chartered Accountant I’ve built my experience working within the SaaS and digital technology industries, growing early-stage businesses from the inside.
I help digital entrepreneurs understand their companies and ensure they have all the tools they require to succeed and thrive. I love adopting new tech solutions and making use of these to increase efficiency within our clients’ businesses.
