In this episode of BASELINE, Ian speaks with accountant and finance transformation specialist Michael Loizou about the human side of financial decision-making.

Michael sees it differently.

Drawing on years of experience working with founders and organisations, he argues that financial systems may process the numbers, but understanding those numbers requires context, judgment, and trusted relationships.
