Who are we
We are a team of experienced finance professionals, specialising in helping organisations regain control of their finance functions. Founded by Sam Male and Joe Giles – both CIMA Chartered Accountants with extensive experience in the charity and education sectors – SMG delivers practical, honest support with a focus on results.
Why we exist
The Financial processing and reporting world has changed drastically driven by cloud technology and the Pandemic. AI and MTD will further drive change. Organisations are burdened with high staff costs and outdated, expensive finance systems. SMG exists to provide high quality expertise to your finance function at a lower cost than FTE’s, ensuring that best in class systems are utilised.
