“NIASS have worked with Kirsten on several occasions in the last 3 years within the role of our consultative team providing collaborative bid support to end clients. Kirsten has always been a major contributor and a most helpful partner to enable successful delivery of required client deliverables.
Kirsten demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of financial and commercial domains which has proved extremely key to successful delivery. We cannot recommend Kirsten more highly than stating we would be delighted to work together again in future.”
“Kirsten has consistently delivered a high class service in a bespoke and very professional manner. The services provided have been widely appreciated by Thomas Thor and our clients. I can fully recommend Kirsten as an extremely reliable individual who knows her craft well and I would be happy to discuss with any potential clients of Financial Insights, should the need arise.”
“Kirsten’s knowledge and understanding provided valuable support and correct interpretation of the financial requirements, manner and format of information required for our bid submission. Kirsten was very persistent, but entirely correct, in her translation of the requirements back to our group and it was due to her expertise and diligence that we passed the Financial section. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Kirsten again and sincerely hope that we have that opportunity. I would always request Kirsten’s support on our financial issues in future. ”
“Kirsten provides the essential decision support service for business managers. Her clear, graphic presentation with understandable and readable reports reduce both complexity and risk to allow confident decision making.”
“Kirsten provided us with a level of expertise that we had been unable to access previously. Her wealth of experience in developing sophisticated financial models and monitoring tools enabled us to develop a bespoke financial model linked to our business plan. This has proved invaluable in managing the charity going forwards and has given us greater confidence in the accuracy and quality of management information and monitoring that we undertake. Kirsten’s support proved second to none and I would thoroughly recommend her.”
