"Technical proficiency with commercial acumen"

I’m Todd Holt, a Fellow Chartered Accountant of the ICAEW, and the owner of New Level Accounting. 

My ICAEW qualification represents the gold standard in accounting, reflecting my commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards.

With over 18 years of experience in the accounting and finance industry, I bring a rare combination of expertise from both practice and industry. I honed my technical skills at PKF Smith Cooper and KPMG, and further developed my commercial acumen as Head of Finance at a Championship football club. This unique blend allows me to provide solutions that are not only technically robust but also commercially practical—tailored to help your business succeed.

Throughout my career, I’ve led and mentored teams, advised businesses ranging from ambitious start-ups to established national companies and supported C-suite executives in navigating complex challenges. 

My exceptional soft skills set me apart—clients appreciate my approachable nature, clear communication, and ability to simplify complex financial concepts, making collaboration both effective and enjoyable.
