Simon Burrows

Proud to represent Bishopsgate, where I started my City career and have numerous clients and contacts, with a special focus on Small Business and FinTech.

I'm a Chartered IT Engineer as well as a Chartered Accountant, working closely with small startup and scaleup businesses including investors in them. My particular expertise is introducing and nurturing fintech, technology and payments companies, modernising complex IT systems and processes, integrating and separating IT systems during M&A projects and using automation to improve efficiency.

I have a strong business network and understanding of the culture, politics and priorities of Financial and Professional Services employers, including major Law and Corporate Finance firms. Having left my full-time roles, I now run a boutique Advisory firm and act as a Non-Executive Director, giving control over my diary and the time to commit to the role of Common Councillor.
