Arthur Kensington holds a Master's degree in Corporate Finance from the London School of Economics and is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). His early career was forged in the demanding environment of Big Four advisory, where he spearheaded financial due diligence for complex cross-border corporate mergers. Transitioning to the private sector, Arthur served as the in-house Finance Director for several rapidly scaling UK tech firms, managing investment rounds exceeding £20M. He possesses deep technical expertise in rolling 13-week cash flow forecasting, EBITDA optimisation, and deploying predictive analytics software to replace outdated historical reporting methods. Recognising that many ambitious SMEs fail due to unfunded growth and poor working capital management, he established his own fractional CFO practice. Arthur writes to demystify complex financial data for non-accountant founders, providing them with the strategic frameworks necessary to secure venture capital and commercial bank financing. His articles address the harsh realities of margin erosion during inflationary periods and offer pragmatic solutions for debt restructuring and asset protection. By sharing his extensive knowledge of board pack upgrades and corporate treasury vehicles, he aims to elevate the financial acumen of UK company directors.
