My name is Andrew James Crawford and I am a Business Development Consultant, Entrepreneur and Chartered Management Accountant & Tax Adviser based in Nottingham.
With decades of experience I have setup multiple successful businesses and become a specialist Chartered Tax Management Accountant. These skills provide me with great knowledge in all areas of business development, allowing me to honestly say that I can make your business succeed.
Not only can I help you achieve your business goals through specific development methods and strategies, I can also increase your revenue and save you costs by working through your business accounting and formulating new techniques to give you a healthy bank balance.
“We’ve worked with Andrew on a development basis for the past few years now and business has never been better! Amongst many other things, he showed us how to gain new clientele, generate more revenue and showed us the best way to run our business accounts.”
“I bought Andrew in on a financial advisory role and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! I had a strong grasp of my business apart from the accounting side and Andrew has showed me everything I needed and more – and it’s saved me money in the long term!”
Many moons ago I was a paperboy delivering newspapers to the local community and getting fit whilst doing it! Skip a few years ahead and there I am working tirelessly for a mean corporation to whom I was just another number, heading up their accounts team and not even getting a ‘hello’ in the morning – and THAT was the moment I decided to do something about it.
Whilst working full time I studied at night school, slogging away into the early hours of each morning trying to achieve my goal of becoming a Chartered Accountant. It took many years and many sleepless hours but I soon graduated and achieved my first life goal. I wanted more, but at least I now had the knowledge I needed to get rid of my unappreciative full-time job and become entirely self-employed. And you know what? Since that moment I’ve always been my own boss, and it’s the greatest feeling in the world.
The next few years are a total blur of education, working and self-development. I achieved many more qualifications and with this new found knowledge I had serious business knowledge…And I’m not just talking about ‘how to set up a business and let it run’ – oh no – I’m talking serious infrastructure from the roots up of how businesses run successfully and how financial management can make or break a company.
So I then began to set up my own businesses, one after the other like an entrepreneurial addict – as soon as one was running successfully and the books all balanced out, off I went to the next – finding niche markets and building businesses which would thrive through simple business development.
And so ladies and gents, that brings us to the ‘now’. Here I am, a successful entrepreneur with knowledge on all aspects of business from creation to successful infrastructure and I want to share my experience with the world. So I made myself a promise to ‘love more, give more and help more’…and here I am!
