Head of THG, Steve Leith, explains why he built this team…
“After working for a corporate accountancy firm for many years I watched their interest in having a dedicated tech and high growth team decline. Not only was there a gap in the market for a team dedicated to this ecosystem, there was a need for it – VC backed businesses we’re either being serviced by teams that didn’t understand their journey or were being batted around between specialists trying to piece together the advice they required to scale.
So, when the pandemic hit in 2020, I found myself sat at home in front of a white board planning out how to build this team, I asked myself what a finance lead at a high growth business needs. And I’ve asked myself that question every day since as we’ve grown to a team of more than 100 in that short time.
For me it’s all about being a sounding board for every stage – helping to develop 100s of high growth specialists along the way, providing a platform for fulfilling careers and working with founders who are changing people’s lives with their ventures.”
Steve has built the team alongside a other key individuals who are equally as enthusiastic about the goal he envisaged 3 years ago.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
HETAL, DEC 24
“The audit was well run with a pragmatic approach where needed. The presentation of the results was also well managed. “
"Fab to hear this, thanks."
JOE, DEC 24
“Excellent service from Fatima & team! Very well written project summaries requiring limited changes from our P&E team. Final report prepared to a good standard needing minor tweaks with a quick turnaround allowing the business to receive cash from HMRC in advance of year end. “
"Wow, excellent feedback, thank you! "
HANA, NOV 24
“Very good support preparing R&D claim, we missed agreed deadline by few days, but it was not a big problem to us.”
"Thanks Hana, though we'll work harder next year to hit that deadline."
JOANNE, NOV 24
“Met expectations very well.”
"Lovely, thanks for the feedback."
MARK, NOV 24
“My involvement has reduced of late. I think you have knowledge and are competent. But i need more exposure to you which is less likely as we have a new CFO.”
"We're always happy to sit down with you and talk through - we'll reach out directly."
SAM, NOV 24
“Responsive, professional & clear communications on findings.”
"Amazing feedback, thank you. "
LISA, NOV 24
“Exceeded massively.”
"Whoop, awesome to hear!!"
SARAH, NOV 24
“Responsive, accounts signed ahead of time despite some complexities this year. “
"Glad we impressed."
JAMES, NOV 24
“As was communicated during our last audit, the outsourcing experiment with South Africa didn’t work. Whilst we were also slow on our side going through a deep restructure it did not help having less able and qualified people on the audit – response times were slow and proactiveness was lower. This was in contrast to prior year audit experiences.”
"We're sorry to have missed the mark this year with the outsourcing, we'll work with you to improve our services."
MARTIN, NOV 24
“Met expectations – no issues.”
"Sweet- thanks so much."
