Steve Smith, Chief Financial Officer

Steve spotted potential in the fast-growing telecoms company while working as Corporate Finance Partner for the leading professional services firm, Ernst and Young. His team was responsible for organising the company’s regional final of its Entrepreneur of the Year awards back in 2007 where Daisy’s CEO Matthew Riley was winner.

Steve also assisted in preparing the Group for its reversal on to the Alternative Investment Market, as well as the subsequent acquisitions.

Steve trained as a chartered accountant at Arthur Andersen, working in the firm’s Manchester office and enjoying a short secondment in Sydney, Australia. He moved on to Haines Watts Chartered Accountants, where he was managing partner of a newly formed Manchester office for three years before spending 11 years at Ernst and Young.
