About CM Strategies
Our Mission
I’m Colin Moss, founder of CM Strategies, and I work with leaders and owners navigating growth, change, or complexity — those who want finance to be a catalyst for clarity, momentum, and better decisions. I help organisations partner with finance to unlock strategic opportunity and create holistic value: value that strengthens performance and resilience while benefiting employees, customers, partners, and the wider society they serve.
My perspective was shaped by senior leadership roles at Cadbury and Mars, where I learned how cross‑functional partnership, clear alignment and disciplined governance come together to create value across an organisation. My non‑executive work with IGD deepened that perspective, showing how independent challenge, financial and risk expertise, and the role of a trusted sounding board can elevate leadership and support organisations as they navigate complexity and change.
Today, I bring that blend of experience — and a trusted network of specialists I partner with when needed — to strengthen decision‑making, align teams, and build capability across organisations.
Every engagement begins with the challenges that matter most, building the clarity, alignment, and capability leaders and owners need to move forward with confidence. I focus on delivering impact from day one, while creating long‑term partnerships where value continues to grow long after the initial engagement — helping finance become a driving force for sustainable, meaningful, and holistic value creation.

" One of the best CFOs I have worked with in my 15 years of General Management. During our time together at Mars, Colin combined strong financial capabilities with excellent “commercial assessment”, enabling the organisation to thrive. His integrity, values‑driven approach and leadership presence — supported by real gravitas — create meaningful impact. He is highly respected both within Finance and across the wider organisation "
