The world of finance is ever-evolving, and for small to medium businesses, navigating this landscape can be both challenging and rewarding.

Hosted by Imogen Wilson, this episode delved deep into the nuances of alternative financing and its critical role in empowering accountants to drive SME growth.
The air was alive with anticipation as Angus Sedgwick took his place in the studio, bringing with him a wealth of experience and insights. Sedgwick's journey is as fascinating as it is instructive, having transitioned from the world of life insurance to the intricate domain of invoice financing.

This episode not only explored these solutions but also sought to equip accountants with the tools and partnerships necessary to support SME clients in scaling sustainably, all while positioning themselves as value-adding advisors rather than mere compliance checkers.
