Umar
Azam
Group Financial Controller
Rafter Group
Finance can either unlock growth or hold it back. For over a decade, I’ve been building finance functions that do the former by driving clarity, pace and performance inside fast-scaling, PE-backed and listed businesses across UK, Europe and US. PwC trained and now Group FC, I’ve evolved into a strategic partner to leadership, focusing on long-term value creation through data-driven decisions, comprehensive FP&A frameworks, and aligning financial strategy with business goals. I lead finance transformation, ERP implementation and help shape strategic business decisions by turning complex data into clear insights that drive operational and commercial success. Skilled in IFRS, consolidation and audit, with a commercial mindset and a strong interest in AI and automation as levers for efficiency and growth.
