Summary
Ian Brennan is a finance-focused partner at Finlay-Mulligan & Co with over two decades working hands-on with SMEs to streamline accounting operations and compliance. Based in London and trained in accountancy at Dublin Institute of Technology, he specializes in digital transformation, outsourced CFO services, and financial management for medical, dental, and engineering firms. He helps businesses replace paper-based processes with online accounting systems that deliver timely management data rather than just compliance reports. Ian regularly steps into interim roles to cover understaffing or peak workloads, improving continuity and cost-effectiveness for in-house finance teams. His practical approach combines credit control, debt financing, and accounts payable management to boost cash flow and free owners to focus on their core strengths. Less obviously, he frames outsourcing as a strategic lever for directors to gain real-time financial insight, not merely a back-office cost cut.
