About
Derek Granger
Derek has spent over 16 years working within and alongside the UK accountancy ecosystem. His work brings together an understanding of professional services, technology and the commercial challenges businesses face as they grow.
Before founding Aris Growth, Derek led go-to-market initiatives at EY, working with high-growth technology companies and accountancy firms across the UK.
He combines an understanding of how accountancy firms operate with strong commercial instincts and a focus on execution. Derek is known for making complex conversations simple, practical and commercially productive.
Today, that experience supports two areas of work: helping technology companies gain traction in the accountancy market, and helping growing businesses find accountancy and advisory support that fits their needs.
In both, his approach starts with understanding the business, bringing the right people together and helping the conversation lead somewhere useful.
