Simon Jarman to present at upcoming “Meet the Experts” session

On 15 August at 8am, Simon Jarman, CEO and Founder of Clever Bean Accounting, will deliver a live expert session titled “Where Did the Profit Go? How Smarter Numbers Drive Stronger Growth” as part of The Joinery Network’s “Meet the Expert” Series.

With over 30+ years in the home improvement and fenestration sectors, Simon has worked with businesses of all sizes and seen the same patterns: companies working hard, winning jobs, but still struggling to build sustainable profit.

Drawing on decades of leadership and financial advisory experience, Simon’s Meet the Experts talk will show business owners how to:

  • Spot hidden profit leaks that drain cash
  • Price more confidently using real job costs
  • Shift from reactive to proactive decision-making
  • Use budgeting and forecasting to fuel growth

Simon is the Founder of Clever Bean Accounting, a fast-growing firm that specialises in supporting glazing, joinery and home improvement companies. Since launching in 2023, Clever Bean has become the trusted financial partner to glazing industry.

Clever Bean says it isn’t your typical accountant. Instead of just handling tax returns, they work hand-in-hand with clients each month to help them understand their numbers, improve margins, and run healthier, more resilient businesses.

“This industry delivers brilliant products and service,” said Simon. “We help companies charge what they’re worth and keep more of it.”

Whether you’re an owner, director, or finance lead, this session will give you real tools to take control of your numbers and grow with confidence.
