Chris Saxby

I work with CFOs, finance teams and boards to deliver high-quality audit and business assurance services. My clients range from entrepreneurial owner-managed businesses to private equity-backed and listed companies, with revenues from £10m to £1bn. I help businesses navigate audit, assurance and financial reporting requirements with confidence, bringing a pragmatic and collaborative approach that delivers value beyond compliance.

I've spent more than 15 years supporting businesses across the Manufacturing and Consumer Markets sectors, while also working with organisations in Transportation, Professional Services and Technology. I work with businesses at different stages of growth, helping management teams and stakeholders respond to the opportunities and challenges that come with operating in complex and fast-changing markets. My expertise spans UK GAAP and IFRS financial reporting, and I have significant experience leading audits for both UK and international groups.

Whether I'm supporting a growing privately owned business, a private equity-backed company preparing for its next stage of development or a listed group managing stakeholder expectations, I focus on understanding what drives success. By building strong relationships and bringing practical insight alongside technical expertise, I help teams navigate complexity and make informed decisions with confidence.

Outside work, I'm a keen runner, a lifelong football fan and enjoy spending time with my family.
