The Founder

Nilesh Modi

ACMA, CGMA-CIMA

I am a

Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA CGMA). I spent over 25 years in senior finance roles at global media organisations, working closely with leadership teams and building the commercial instincts that only come from operating at that level over a long period.

I founded NIL RETURN to bring that experience to owner-managed businesses who deserve the same quality of financial thinking, without needing a full-time Finance Director to access it.

My approach

My approach is simple—keep your finances accurate, organised and clear, so you always understand your numbers and can make confident decisions.

Why work with me

You can expect a reliable, responsive service with clear communication and attention to detail - so there are no surprises.

Senior-level experience. Small business focus.

Most accountants serving small businesses have worked in small businesses. Nilesh hasn't — and that's the point.

With over 25 years in senior finance roles at global media organisations, he's operated where financial decisions have real consequences: strategic planning, complex reporting, and the kind of analysis boards and investors rely on.

That experience doesn't disappear when your turnover is £500k rather than £500m. NIL RETURN brings that commercial finance expertise directly to owner-managed businesses — the real thing, at a scale that works for you.
