About Neuvantage: The Advantage of Thinking Differently
The Neuvantage Story
From Binman to Boardroom: We See the Profit Others Miss.
The name Neuvantage is personal. It combines the concept of "Neu" (from neurodiversity) with "Advantage"—the fundamental belief that seeing the world differently is the ultimate competitive edge in business.
Led by Gavin Simpson, ACMA CGMA, Neuvantage was founded on the principle: Think Differently, Elevate Your Business.
The Breakthrough: This unique way of thinking—which excels at spotting patterns, engineering complex financial models, and simplifying operational chaos—is now applied to the financial strategy of high-growth SMEs.
Our Founder
The Operational Accountant: We Speak the Language of the Floor.
You can't fix what you don't understand. Unlike traditional accountants, my expertise isn't just theoretical, it's forged in the field.
The Journey: Gavin’s career began not in an office, but in the thick of operations: working in the tyre and exhaust trade, as a lorry driver, and in supply chain and warehousing. This ground-up knowledge, documented in Gavin’s book, Binman To Boardroom, means he understands the true financial cost of a logistics bottleneck or an inventory error.
The Certification: Gavin is an award-winning Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA CGMA), certified in forward-thinking strategy, financial analysis, and data-driven decision-making.
This is the Neuvantage difference: We combine top-tier CIMA strategy with unparalleled operational credibility. We don't just analyse the numbers; we understand how those numbers are generated on the job.
Our Mission and Future Vision
Engineering Profit, Building Opportunity.
Our mission is to empower UK SMEs with the confidence to drive growth, turning operational efficiency into predictable, engineered profit.
Technology & Data: We are committed to leveraging the latest in AI, data analytics, and automation to transform your finance function into a lean, strategic asset.
Building the Future: Our ultimate goal is to scale Neuvantage to provide a clear, supportive pathway into the finance profession for school leavers who possess untapped talent but may have been overlooked by traditional, exam-focused institution, just as Gavin was. It’s Gavin’s aim to give back and give others a chance to change their lives, just like he did.
The CIMA Advantage: More Than an Accountant, a Strategic Partner
Choosing the right financial professional is a critical business decision. While anyone can call themselves an 'accountant', partnering with a CIMA Member in Practice means you’re not just hiring a number-cruncher; you're gaining a professionally qualified and regulated business strategist.
A Partner Focused on Your Future, Not Your Past
Traditional accounting is the financial rear-view mirror, it focuses on what has already happened.
As Chartered Management Accountants (CIMA), We are trained to be your financial GPS. We use your data to analyse performance, model scenarios, and provide the strategic insights you need to make smarter, more profitable decisions for the future.
What Our Regulated Status Means For Your Business
Your financial health is too important to leave to chance. Our CIMA regulated status provides you with complete peace of mind and essential protection. This means:
Unwavering Integrity: We are bound by a strict Code of Ethics, ensuring every piece of advice is professional and serves your best interest.
A Professional & Secure Service: We are supervised under Anti-Money Laundering regulations, giving you confidence in our secure processes.
Your Complete Protection: We are required to hold Professional Indemnity Insurance, providing you with a vital layer of security and recourse.
Expertise That Stays Ahead of the Curve
The CIMA qualification demands a commitment to lifelong learning. For you, this means the advice you receive is always built on the latest financial legislation, tax rules, and business strategies, giving your business a competitive edge.
Choosing Neuvantage is an investment in your success. If you’re ready for strategic insight that goes beyond basic compliance, you're in the right place.
