Stuart Warner Bsc (Hons) FCA is the author of four books on finance, an international speaker, a teacher and a non-executive adviser. His goal is to help businesses increase productivity and profits through innovative and engaging finance training. He delivers finance based training programmes around the world across multiple sectors. Over his career, Stuart has trained over ten thousand people.

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.
