  • Hi, I’m Chris Gascoyne! I’m the Director and founder of Acumist, a dynamic financial services firm pioneering "Finance as a Service." With over 30 years of experience in accounting, including ten years in corporate recovery with top ten firms, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. My journey began in corporate recovery and insolvency, but after consulting for leading firms and facing the challenges of redundancy, I chose to redefine how businesses manage finances. Today, I help business owners focus on proactive financial success rather than reactive crisis management. I've even held influential roles, including serving as a Finance Director for a facilities and waste management company. Based in scenic Windlesham, Surrey, I run Acumist as a virtual business—offering flexible, cutting-edge financial solutions to businesses across the UK. I’m passionate about integrating technology like cloud accounting and AI while fostering genuine client relationships over coffee conversations. ☕✨ Collaboration, kindness, and clear communication drive my leadership style. When I’m not helping businesses thrive, you might find me enjoying the relaxed charm of Windlesham or exploring ways to blend work with fun because business should always be enjoyable!
