Sam is a Business Finance Professional with ICAEW accreditation. He trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in central London.

During his articles and early career, he worked mainly with owner-managed clients before enhancing his knowledge and broadening his experience. His varied and in-depth work in public practice includes general accounting, audit, and taxation.

Added to that is the re-engineering of finance functions, transactional work, and integrating of businesses following corporate activity such as mergers and acquisitions. Subsequently, this advisory foundation was substantially supplemented by Sam’s direct involvement with front-line commercial activities in industry.

​

He worked in audit and business advisory services with Price Waterhouse Birmingham, which included a six-month receivership appointment in the automotive industry. Then, he returned to London to start his own accountant’s practice, serving SME’s and growing businesses.

​

After five years, he joined his largest client and Sam was appointed group financial controller to a quoted company with 8 self-storage centres. The business grew twenty-fold over the next two decades through organic and acquisitive initiatives.

A fresh challenge arose in 2018, and Argo was established to provide bespoke support to SME’s, by exploiting the benefits of practical and relevant aspects from larger enterprises. A return to the roots with an added armoury.

Sam is a trustee and treasurer of a local charity. He enjoys not smoking, the gym, time with family and friends, following Premier League football, and chasing his two Westies. Other languages include non-business oral fluency in Cantonese, Urdu, and Hindi.
