Who we are

Cairn Insight was founded to bring clarity, discipline and perspective to complex financial environments.

We are led by a chartered accountant and Director of Finance with over 15 years’ experience leading finance teams across large corporate organisations, joint ventures, regulated organisations, not-for-profits and SMEs. This background spans major government-backed contracts, high-value infrastructure and transport groups, and board-level leadership in high-stakes settings where financial judgement directly shapes outcomes.

Cairn Insight combines rigorous technical expertise with a highly commercial mindset. The focus is on strengthening cash flow, improving financial performance, and turning complex financial data into insight leaders can trust.

Above all, Cairn Insight acts as a trusted and credible sounding board to founders, CEOs and boards; bringing clarity to complexity and supporting confident, disciplined decision-making.
