the very start of the cloud and SaaS revolution and has worked with
some of the leading names in the industry. With over 25 years'
industry experience his credentials speak for themselves and his
experience will be invaluable as we execute on our growth
plans.
With the imminent arrival of Making Tax Digital, accountancy
practices are increasingly important partners for FreeAgent and our
ongoing partnership with NatWest and Royal Bank of Scotland has
cemented our position as the best solution for small and
micro-businesses.
With Nick at the forefront of our sales team, alongside Kevin
McCallum who steps into the new role of Chief Commercial Officer
(CCO) to lead our efforts in the Open Banking and wider FinTech
space, we are doubling down on our support for these important
channels to introduce even more business owners and their
