“John and his team at S4B will quickly sort out the finances of a company, get them under control and produce very high quality management accounts, enabling the business to rapidly identify and target areas where profitability can be improved. With his product “Janus”, the production of detailed monthly forecasts is just part of a process leading to a greater understanding of the business, where it is going and what needs to happen to achieve its goals. John is unlike other accountants. He has great commercial ability and experience in all areas of a business. He is able to help the board to drive its strategy and to focus on the key areas that will improve its profitability. I cannot recommend him more highly.”

” We have worked with John for 10 years. He is one of the most forward thinking characters I know in business. The word ‘thinking out of the box’ takes on a whole new meaning in everything John does. He has helped us grow our Event Management from 15 million turnover to now 40 million turnover. All his energies have shone through in all aspects of our business. I have personally loved working with him and he has especially developed me in my own style and knowledge. We are now proud we have the Best Event Management Company over 40 employees for the Meeting and Incentive Travel Awards four years running and a lot of this is as a result of John’s commitment to us.”

“I have worked with John of S4B over the last four years in different companies and situations, where I have been chairman or non-executive director and we’ve brought John in as interim finance director, company secretary or commercial director. John brings experienced commercial value to a leadership team. As you would expect, his financial rigor and reporting is thorough and relevant, helping to support planning, progress and decision-making. In addition John has a good, commercial, common-sense understanding of market and customer behavior and order and payment processes, which helps with relevant customer forecasting and sales force review. Faced with a problem he does not look at it as a half empty or half full glass, but asks whether we may need a different glass. I trust John and have often relied on his proactive advice on commercial, corporate and shareholder issues. He is easy to work with and I would always want him as part of my team.”

“John O’Mahony and his at S4B were introduced to us shortly after our MBO to act as an outsourced financial / accounts department and John as Part Time FD. John has exceptional commercial acumen – he quickly assimilated the information to get a thorough understanding of our business and identified areas where real value could be delivered by his team. The ability to apply sound commercial advice I have found to be extremely valuable to me as CEO. The introduction of new processes and forecasting models was done quickly and efficiently (Quick and efficient is a byword when dealing with John and his team!) and the benefits are coming through. John and his team are highly professional, approachable, reliable and get the job done – quickly. Thoroughly recommend them and looking forward to working with them in the years ahead as RiiG grows as a company.”
