Yemi is a very capable finance professional. Having recruited him into Liberata he was able to get up to speed on the technical and commercial issues we faced very quickly. His financial modelling skills are first rate as is his technical accounting knowledge. Over 2015 and 2016 he has grown into his role and developed a strong network of contacts across the business. It was a pleasure to work with him.

I met Yemi when we studied at BPP towards our ACA qualifications. Yemi was an outstanding student and was always in the top 5–10% of the class. We have also developed a professional relationship and I have found Yemi to be the go-to person for technical information. He has a very good broad knowledge of Finance and is also a specialist in such areas as Financial Modelling. He is able to deal with lots of volume of information and condense it into something useful. Hardworking and ambitious, Yemi continues to develop himself, currently studying for the CFA qualification. He also has great leadership skills, and holds a number of leadership posts in his local community; as well as having managed teams effectively.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Yemi as being an asset to any company. He joined our company on a contract role at a time of change in the team and was an integral part in effectively compiling our year end results. Yemi quickly got up to speed with our systems, introduced some efficiencies in some of our processes and took on additional responsibilities. Yemi has a can-do attitude, is very dedicated and has been a very important part of our team. Importantly he also has a sunny disposition & a positive attitude.
