Tim Morris

CEO

For a high-growth business like The Entourage, having a reliable finance partner is essential. Over the past three years TWIYO has played that role for us perfectly. From refining our board financial reporting to improving our end-of-month processes, TWIYO has brought clarity and efficiency to our financial operations.

Joshua Ross

Joshua Ross

Co-CEO & Co-Founder

The team at TWIYO helped us navigate a period of significant growth as our needs from our finance department changed. They bolted on to our internal finance team and they ensured everything was prepared accurately for our audit, they prepared our board reports for multiple regions and built out our 3-way forecasts - I can't recommend them enough.

We engaged TWIYO for CFO advisory services in our formative growth years and they served to fit the need for expert finance advice before we needed that as a full-time role. They were able to help us navigate internal and external reporting needs and give strong advice on how we should be running and structuring the business.
