Capital International Group has appointed Matheu Marshall as group finance manager, reporting to head of finance, Paul Atherton.

After graduating with a First Class BSc (Hons) Degree in Mathematics from Loughborough University in 2012, Matheu completed his ACCA in 2016 with a big four firm on the Isle of Man, while being promoted to assistant manager in audit for the firm.

Since, he has worked as finance supervisor for a global corporate trust, fund and accounting business.

Manx-born Matheu is already playing a vital role in the implementation of the Group strategy from an accountancy and financial perspective.

His responsibilities include the monthly review of subsidiary management accounts; the production of monthly-consolidated management accounts; the preparation of tax, VAT and financial resource returns; the preparation of subsidiary and consolidated financial statements; and providing cover for the Treasury department. In addition, he will be acting as a mentor for the Group’s two current trainee accountants.

Matheu looks forward to utilising and building upon the knowledge and experience gained so far in his career. He expects the biggest challenge in his new role to be gaining a thorough understanding of Capital’s structure and operations whilst assisting with the continuous implementation of strategy over the coming year, all of which will result in significant developments and change within the Group.

With his proven analytical mind and logical thought process, Matheu is motivated and excited by the challenges provided within his new role, as well as the opportunities it provides to increase his experience and knowledge within the financial services industry. He is enthusiastic to be part of the fast-paced and evolving environment and team.

Matheu said: ‘I am delighted to join the business at such a pivotal moment as the company enacts its strategy.

‘I am looking forward to helping Capital build on the strong and foundations it has established since its inception.’

Group finance and operations director, Werner Alberts, said: ‘We are very pleased that another talented person has joined our fast-growing team.

‘Matheu brings a strong set of skills which will assist our finance team in providing financial intelligence to the business and achieve our ambitious plans.’
