About Us

Ian Cornelius, the founder and director of Cashability, has over twenty years' experience in business finance education and advisory work. Starting his career at Price Waterhouse, he quickly found his calling as a trainer, designing and delivering business training courses to PW's clients and staff.

After a spell in industry as the Financial Controller of Halfords, Ian joined ATC as their head of operations in Birmingham. He initially focused on the key professional exam markets (ACA, ACCA, CIMA and AAT) where he specialised in teaching financial management and management accounting subjects.

Subsequently this led to 10+ years in professional bespoke business education. Ian has specialised in the delivery of practical finance training programmes for operational staff, developing their financial literacy and commercial astuteness.

He has also lectured on the MBA programmes and Aston and Warwick Business Schools, and written two books (published by FT Prentice Hall) on shareholder value and Value-Based Management (VBM).

When not training, Ian can be found attempting to juggle and playing with his abacus. A keen sportsman, he has climbed mountains in Europe, South America and the Himalaya, and completed the ironman triathlon in slightly over fourteen hours (which is just before the organisers tend to pack up and go home).

He lives happily in a thatched cottage in The Cotswolds with his wife and young son.
