Meet Roger Booker
Managing Partner
Roger describes himself as an Anglo-German Kiwi-Aussie, who’s been shot at by Russians, rescued off of a cliff and fallen under a train (and survived). He started off life as a Mechanical Engineer, and suffered the long and slippery slope of: Mechanical Engineering > Cost Engineering > Cost Accounting > Management Accounting. He qualified as a CIMA member a long time ago and at 28 he was the senior financial manager in a major grain trading business in the City of London, then retiring to New Zealand at 30 to avoid moving to Geneva.
Buy him a beer and he’ll bore you comatose with simple lessons on how to turn ailing businesses around, how budgets are obsolete and how trend analysis is the key in business finances.
His hobbies include: Rock'n'Roll, gardening, wine and cooking (his favourite styles of cooking include: English, German, Mexican & Spanish Tapas).
