The experts behind Reconciled — bringing you clear, balanced, and honest reporting.

Aaron Burton

Founder — FCCA CTA

Aaron runs ABLM and leads on Reconciled. Spends too much of his week working out what AI can actually do for a small practice. Off the clock, he and his wife are usually pitchside, watching their four boys play football and hockey.

Laurence Maynard

Founder — FCCA MAAT

Laurence co-founded ABLM and is part of Reconciled. Brings a top-20 firm background to smaller practices, spending too much of his week working out how AI can give them the same firepower the big firms take for granted. Off the clock, he's men's captain at City of Peterborough Tennis and out on court most weekends.

Richard Allen

Founder — Move37

Richard founded Move37 and invests through Mexipark, with a portfolio of 200+ startups. Spends most of his week hunting for founders building in AI, clean energy and biotech. Before all this, he built and sold an 8-figure ecommerce business.
