Stuart McChlery

Stuart McChlery

Stuart is one of Scotland's most knowledgeable and sought after accountants.  His unique style of presentation makes the traditionally dry topic of 'numbers' remarkably easy (and enjoyable) to absorb, too.  Accredited with the professional accounting bodies CIMA and CIPFA, Stuart specialises in helping business leaders to establish financial controls for their businesses... and  then to understand what their numbers really mean.  He was previously a senior figure within KPMG, but now prefers to split his time between his own consulting business - helping a mixed portfolio of clients - and lecturing in the Department of Finance and Accounting, at Glasgow Caledonian University.
