Managing Director
Matt has been providing governance and reporting advice to growth companies for more than 25 years and has the experience of holding a number of Board positions on London listed Plcs for almost 20 years.
Qualifying as a chartered accountant, Matt moved into corporate finance with Beeson Gregory (which ultimately was sold to Investec) where he advised Main Market and AIM companies on a wide range of transactions including: IPOs, secondary fundraisings, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring and the Takeover Code.
Recognising that the reporting obligations and regulatory burden on Plc management teams were only going to increase, Matt founded One Advisory in 2006 as a corporate advisor to growth companies in order to provide direct and relevant advice to entrepreneurs navigating their way through the rules and regulations of London’s stock markets.
Matt’s focus is on advising businesses on their Governance and reporting requirements, in particular utilising his extensive experience in providing practical solutions to clients’ everyday requirements.
Laura started her professional life as a corporate lawyer, qualifying as a solicitor with Denton Wilde Sapte (now Dentons) in 2000.

Laura believes in the benefits of good governance and considers that many boards and their companies can benefit enormously from some relatively small shifts in approach, practice and behaviours. The 80:20 rule applies!
