His goal is to help businesses increase productivity and profits through innovative and engaging finance training.

Stuart studied management sciences at UMIST and became a Chartered Accountant whilst working at PwC.

Stuart loves the fresh air and peace of the countryside, especially the scenic hills of North Wales, so he decided to live in London for ample doses of air pollution, loud noises and views of tall concrete buildings. In his spare time he can be found falling off his mountain bike or falling off walls whilst indoor rock climbing.

Saieem (Si) Hussain BSc (Hons) FCA is a chartered accountant. He trained at KPMG and qualified in 1990.

He has held senior positions in several listed companies, including Chief Executive of BPP Professional Education.

Si runs an independent consultancy delivering financial and business training, including coaching to senior executives. He provides strategic and business advice to organisations across the training and education sectors.

Despite being vegetarian, tee-total and a fan of country and folk music, Si describes himself as an easy-to-please and entertaining dinner guest. He is a Londoner born and bred and in his spare time can be seen walking the streets of London, re-tracing the steps of Pepys, Dickens, Johnson and others.
