Founder Capital is built by people who have started, run and improved professional-services firms. When you talk to us, you talk to the people who actually do the work.
Andy is a founder and operator focused on building scalable, integrated professional-services platforms. He founded Founder Capital and the Practice Group, where he leads an operator-driven buy-and-build strategy — acquiring and integrating accountancy and advisory firms with strong recurring revenue, and improving how they run.
That strategy is already in motion: through the Buzz buy-and-build project, the operating team has completed four practice acquisitions in 2026 — real deals and real integrations, moving firms onto shared systems and central support while client service stays local.
His approach is practical rather than financial-engineering: sustainable growth through better systems, governance and long-term alignment. He is formalising that with institutional-grade study — the Investment Management Certificate (IMC) and the CISI Certificate in Global Financial Compliance — while keeping an operator-led philosophy.
Founder Capital's private equity strategy runs through the Practice Group — a dedicated operating company with a team spanning deal execution, integration, finance and technology.
The buy-and-build platform itself: sourcing, acquiring and integrating professional-services firms, with an operating presence across London, Manchester and Ballymena.
Led by career practitioners with decades in accounting practice — including Fiscora, the group's fractional finance-director service — so acquired firms are run on their numbers, not on hope.
Alongside our own strategies we work with Swoop's whole-of-market funding platform and Braemar Finance, the Close Brothers group's specialist professions lender.
Whether you're a firm owner thinking about succession or an eligible investor interested in our strategies, the first conversation is with a founder — not a call centre.
