Mike Magill FCAFounder, Falcon XL Solutions
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Ernst & Young in 1995, moved from external audit into internal audit and risk, and in 2000 moved into industry. I then spent twelve years at Kier Group plc, working across the group's systems, processes and controls – the good and the bad.
Along the way I found that most improvements came down to getting the data right. I built my Excel and VBA skills to underpin that work, and today much of what I do is in Power BI and Power Query: data models, measures and reports that people can trust.
I founded Falcon XL Solutions in 2015. I work mainly with small and medium-sized organisations that want simple, cost-effective solutions, and nearly all of my work comes through recommendation.
I love problem-solving. If your reporting takes too long, doesn't add up, or depends on one person who knows how the spreadsheet works, I'd be glad to help.
Supporting the community
My wife and I are extremely grateful for the support and blessings we have received in life, and we want to play our part in helping those who have been less fortunate. A proportion of Falcon XL Solutions’ profits goes to four organisations we support on an ongoing basis.
Christians Against Poverty
An award-winning national debt counselling charity offering free help and advice through debt centres based in local churches, alongside job clubs, life skills and money courses.
Compassion
One of the world’s leading child development and advocacy organisations, working with local churches to link children living in poverty with sponsors who give them access to education and health checks.
Cornerstone Care in Confidence
Offering time, space and non-directive information to those facing an unplanned pregnancy or suffering emotionally from a previous termination decision, with ongoing befriending support.
KingsGate Community Church
A multi-cultural, inter-generational church family that began in 1988 with nine people meeting in a living room, committed to seeing lives transformed by the power of God’s love.
