Peadar Murphy FCA

Financial Data Specialist

Profile

Fellow Chartered Accountant with 30+ years of experience across international financial services. Equally at home in a finance team and a development team — I understand both the numbers and the technology that produces them. I design and build the reporting tools, automations and analytical frameworks that finance teams actually need, because I have sat in those seats myself.
