Welcome to our Blog

Welcome to the Mackinnon Advisory Blog, where tech SME growth gets real. I’m Stephen Mackinnon FCCA, and for 25 years, I’ve helped professional advisors and UK tech SMEs scale to £1M. Here, I share quick hacks, systems, strategies, and ideas to help you pin down your vision and achieve financial mastery, using simple and repeatable systems (not spreadsheets!). Struggling with cash flow (30% SMEs do, Beauhurst)? I unpack R&D claim tips (40% miss out, Tech Nation) and ops workflows to crush chaos. From fintech to green tech, SaaS, and AI, my Founders Freedom Navigator™ empowers founders and advisors to drive results. Dive into posts like “3 Cash Flow Hacks” or “R&D Secrets” and join my Scale Smart webinar for more.

Whether you’re a bootstrapped startup or a Series A contender, I’m here to drive your success without the corporate fluff. Ready to transform your SME’s future? Book a free 15-minute strategy call today. Let’s make your vision soar!
