Nick Watson

I am the Finance Partner at Grant Thornton. I lead on managing financial operations, change activation, procurement, property, and support services supporting the strategic leadership team on matters related to finance.

I have 30 years of experience as an accountant and auditor, specialising in corporates mostly in the Technology, Media and Telecoms sectors working both in the UK and overseas.  Following 12 years with a Big 4 firm I joined Grant Thornton in 2007 focused on supporting dynamic growing businesses to scale their operations.  These included both privately held and PE-backed companies, together with listed companies and international groups covering AIM and full list in the UK alongside foreign filers on overseas markets.  I  have spent a number of years leading Grant Thornton's approach to the Technology, Media and Telecoms sectors in the UK and latterly Technology for Grant Thornton International.

I was appointed Operations partner as a member of the Audit Leadership team in April 2022 working alongside the Head of Audit to drive the operational performance of the Audit business.  In January 2025 I was appointed Finance partner for the firm.

Outside of work, I’m married with two children, I also love sport, travel and wine.  Having spent over 20 years living and working overseas, I have a keen interest in our globally connected world whether for work or leisure.
