Kasper Thornwick, Senior Budget Strategy Consultant

Kasper Thornwick

Senior Budget Strategy Consultant

Before joining xerannololao, I spent eight years as Finance Director at a Sheffield manufacturing company where I learned budget management the hard way. When we faced a 40% revenue drop in 2020, I had to find £2.3M in savings without laying off key staff. That experience taught me which cost-cutting approaches actually work and which ones just create bigger problems later.

Background & Qualifications

  • CIMA qualified with 12 years industry experience
  • Former Finance Director, Northern Steel Components
  • Specialized in crisis budget management since 2018
  • Regular contributor to UK Finance Today magazine
