We are experts in the gambling industry licence fee structure, having been instrumental in the design, consultation and implementation of the current Gambling Commission licence fees. SKA Financial Consultancy offer a unique insight into both licence fees and the Gambling Commission itself, gaining experience within influential senior GC finance positions from inception of the 2005 Gambling Act through to the 2017 licence fees review and beyond. There is literally no one else available who shares the same knowledge, involvement and understanding of the licence fees that operators need to pay than SKA Financial Consultancy.

Alongside the experience gained within the gambling regulatory sector, we have extensive financial management experience drawn from a wide range of sectors including hospitality, housing and financial services. Our technical accounting and financial skills have been applied for over twenty years in a number of high-profile roles, and I am a qualified chartered management accountant (ACMA, CGMA).

In addition to strong core financial and management accounting experience, we can call on extensive experience of successfully leading improvement, change, transformation and innovation over the public and private sectors. We have experience of building high performing Finance teams that consistently deliver results, and have successfully implemented new finance systems, processes and working practices.

We retain close links and contacts within the Gambling Commission, along with government departments (DCMS), the NAO, the Horserace Betting Levy Board and industry groups.
