Change can be a challenge. Team members and partners may need to change the way they do things and difficult conversations may need to be had with clients. And while we do everything we possibly can at GoProposal to help you on that journey, sometimes you may need one-to-one support from people who have been there, in the trenches, dodging bullets and have done it before.

Will is not your typical accountant. He's an entrepreneur who’s passionate about giving great service and finding radical solutions to provide value and establish efficiencies.
As a business owner, Will has always been about flexibility. Everything is cloud-based, which gives him and the team at Farnell Clarke the ability to work from different locations.
He has always had a fascination for improving efficiencies and process, starting in B2B sales as a record shop owner and a band manager, which is where he began to see the need to utilise technology.
From there Will worked within a Big Four firm advising predominantly public-sector bodies on efficiency and process improvement.
