Build the case.

Prove the numbers.

Protect the value.

Strategic finance from someone who has raised the money and scaled the business, not just advised on it.

Built one. Scaled one.

Valkrest is led by someone who has been on both sides of the table. As co-founder and CFO, Matt secured £14m in funding and helped scale a business to over £100m in global revenue, alongside senior commercial and financial leadership roles across major global organisations.

As a founder-led business, we bring that same rigour to companies of every size. We build trusted, lasting relationships and work as part of the team, not as an advisor on the sidelines.

Founder of Valkrest

Meet the Founder

Big-business rigour.

Founder-level commitment.

"Having carried a plan myself, I know the difference between a forecast that looks right and one that survives contact with reality.


That is what I bring to a client. Not commentary from the outside, but someone who has had to make the numbers happen and will tell you honestly where yours will be challenged. I work alongside leadership teams to build stronger investment cases, sharpen major decisions and protect the value their businesses create."
