Gerry Tyrrell
FCCA | Senior Finance Professional
Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom
Summary
ACCA-qualified finance professional with 25+ years’ experience
delivering financial strategy, reporting, and control across fast-paced, commercially complex environments – from manufacturing and multijurisdictional operations to the creative sector.
In 2022, I transitioned into the screen industry, leveraging transferable skills to bring a forward-looking, enabling approach to production finance. I offer a considered, collaborative style that aligns the Numbers with the Creative Intent, helping productions stay agile, informed, and in control.
My strengths lie in analysis, budgeting, and business partnering, with a proven track record managing high-value development projects and leading forecasting and reporting across multiple currencies, time zones, and teams. I’m as confident navigating the technical detail of financial systems as I am engaging senior stakeholders, external auditors, and HMRC.
