The Sover Story

Nick Benton started Sover to support business owners and investors to build healthy and successful companies. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PwC and has 15 years’ experience with the UK’s largest impact investor, Better Society Capital, where he held senior leadership positions across finance, data and portfolio management, as well as with various SME’s.

  • "Nick delivered clarity when we needed it most. He combines financial expertise with a genuine talent for coaching and communication. Nick didn’t just model numbers - he helped us understand what they meant, what choices we had to make and how to make them."
