Access appoints industry leading CFO

Access Group, a leading author of integrated business management software, has appointed Paul Bosson as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The move is part of plans to support the company’s ambitious growth strategy, which has seen annual double digit growth since the Lyceum Capital backed MBO in 2011.

Access has split the role of CFO to cover finance and commercial elements. Adam Brown, former CFO, will remain as Chief Commercial Officer with Paul having responsibility for all financial matters, covering financial reporting and compliance, business analysis, and working with investors to put in place the optimal finance and corporate structure to support plans for growth.

Paul has a wealth of experience and knowledge in the technology sector, having previously held the position of CFO with both Masternaut and Sophis, achieving successful exits at both. He also brings with him a track record of securing additional investor backing to support fast growing companies like Access.

“Access manages acquisitions very successfully and this is a key area to support further ongoing growth,” said Paul. “It is important that Adam and our senior team have more time to focus on this area of growth while I focus on the finance areas of the business.

“The fact that we are so successful in this area is down to their industry knowledge. It’s a formidable combination of excellent knowledge and excellent staff. This was one of the reasons I was attracted to Access.”

Chris Bayne, CEO for Access, commented, “Paul has unrivalled experience in the sector, he has been a serial CFO of private equity backed technology businesses for the last decade, having achieved four successful exits for four different private equity firms. We’re delighted he is on board.”

Paul is a qualified chartered accountant with Price Waterhouse in London and holds an engineering degree from Imperial College, London and a MBA from Henley Management College.
