Richard Purkis recently joined the Auditel Cost Management Franchise. He is a Chartered Accountant with experience of working both in practice and industry. After obtaining an MBA from the Cranfield School of Management, he was engaged as an Exeter University Lecturer in Finance and Investment. He also worked as a School Bursar.

Asked

why he joined Auditel, Richard said: “Firstly, because it is an excellent Cost Management system, which can benefit clients hugely. I also think that the interests of the client and the affiliate are aligned, so it is a win-win situation. My second reason is the opportunity to work with a network of other highly professional people, drawing on and contributing to their experiences and expertise.”

He thought that the training was an excellent mix of theory and practice, particularly with the role-playing sessions.

Richard adds, “The Auditel Cost Management model includes benchmarking and managing costs, using bespoke tools, with access to other Auditel Consultants. My qualifications, management experience and the Auditel training enable me to help organisations manage their indirect business costs and improve their cash flow and profitability. A key element in building long-term business relationships is to improve clients’ business performance!”

Matt Sidwell, Auditel’s Director of Network Development – UK and Ireland, says, “Richard’s comments about the company and the training reflect so many that we have received over the years. His professional background and experience are ideal qualifications to move out into the marketplace and offer clients peace of mind.”

One of Auditel’s clients commented recently, “I have been very impressed by Auditel’s diligence and professionalism throughout the period that I have known them. I felt that our meetings were like friends sitting round a table, discussing finances. It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with them and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
