Meet our Jersey mentors
Luke Smith
Luke is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Accountants with over 20 years’ experience in accounting environments, having trained with KPMG and then moved into industry before buying back into practice in 2007.
His business provides financial direction to almost 30 non-competing organisations too big not to have regular financial reporting but too small to commercially justify the cost of a full time FD.
As Virtual FDs, Luke and his team present over 60 bespoke MI packs at monthly board meetings – each of which focus management in on predictive performance indicators and the turnover and cost drivers which are vital to propel results forward.
Neil McCluskey
Neil joined Barclays in September 2012 as Head of Local and Offshore Corporates. Along with his team, Neil provides a full banking service to a range of clients, from start up local Jersey businesses through to listed corporates with international requirements.
