About us
Isosceles was founded in 2001 by our CEO, Mike O’Connell. Through his initial work with investors and emerging companies, Mike realised that entrepreneurs involved in new ventures and growing businesses need an effective finance, accounting and HR function just as much as well-established corporations. The challenge these organisations faced, however, was how to afford the calibre of expertise and systems needed to develop a thriving business model. Isosceles was formed to meet this challenge.
Isosceles is not a traditional accounting practice – we provide bespoke outsourced accounting, advisory, control and strategic financial support for a varied and expanding client base. While for some we are their full Finance team, we also work with clients on merger, acquisition and divestiture execution, on managing and expanding an international presence, on funding growth and achieving a high value sale.
We work with clients in tech, life science, manufacturing, research and service industries. All ambitious. All growing. All expecting first class support from their professional partners – us.
Isosceles has worked with some of the most successful companies in the UK and helped hundreds of entrepreneurs to achieve business growth. We have evolved from a company that simply offers a range of outsourced accounting, HR and FD services into a value adding business partner that works with its clients to grow value and, for many, achieve a successful exit.
We have 3 offices in the UK, Egham, which is our head office, Sheffield and Cambridge.
