Why do some businesses treat sustainability as a costly compliance burden, while others transform it into a powerful driver of growth and competitive advantage?

Why do some leaders struggle to translate ESG initiatives into meaningful ROI, while others effortlessly attract investment and unlock new market opportunities through their sustainability strategy?

Why do some companies drown in the complexity of sustainability reporting requirements, while others leverage these same regulations to build unshakeable stakeholder trust and unstoppable momentum?

Can your business overcome these challenges?

The answer is yes!

Hi, I'm Tim and I'm the founder of Ancoram.

I discovered my purpose at the intersection of three powerful experiences: witnessing the real impact of environmental and social challenges on people's lives; developing deep technical expertise in accounting; and feeling called to leave this planet better than I found it.

During my time at firms like KPMG and Deloitte, I discovered an unusual passion for technical accounting. The complex frameworks that make most people's eyes glaze over became my playground, and I developed such depth that I advised other accountants on navigating some of the most complex areas of corporate reporting.

Ancoram was born when I recognised how sustainability reporting could transform compliance into competitive advantage. We are quite literally anchored in the sustainability conversation: Ancoram is Latin for anchor, but also hope, refuge, support. I founded Ancoram in 2023, frustrated at how few accountancy practices were providing the sustainability services clients sought.

As an ACCA-regulated firm, we help businesses navigate ESG regulations while transforming requirements into strategic advantage and growth. This isn't about ticking boxes, it's about reshaping how companies approach sustainability, embedding impact into decision-making.

My mission extends beyond Ancoram to nurturing business and sustainability leaders who will drive solutions to our most pressing challenges. We focus on FTSE 350 companies, Irish listed groups, and large PE-backed businesses: those with both leverage and will to lead meaningful change.

If you share this vision of business as a force for good and sustainability as strategic advantage, I'd love to connect.
