Graham McNicholl - Director

Graham trained as an accountant with Mazars LLP in London. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales having worked for over 15 years in practice and industry. He has extensive international finance experience, spending 5 years in Sydney, Australia working for EY in their audit practice, where clients included multi-national listed corporations such as Google and a number of high net worth family offices.

It was in Australia that Graham developed a passion for working with high growth start-ups and ambitious owner-managed businesses, as well as a desire to improve his skillset as an accountant and business partnership ability.

Upon returning to the UK, Graham took a role in a growing renewable energy business as Group Financial Controller; a steep learning curve that involved the integration of four new businesses in 18 months and revenue growth from £5m-£40m. His subsequent industry roles have included Financial Controller for a £500m Agri-Retail business (overhauling the financial modelling and cash flow management of the business) and Chief Financial Officer for an online retail business, where he led the raising of over £2m in equity funding in 3 years and saw revenue growth of over 90% year on year.

Graham set up Bronte Accounting Services in 2018, 10 days before the birth of his first child. He is fluent in French and speaks conversational German.
