Nicholas Bell

 

Nicholas Bell is an experienced finance professional with a background in FP&A, commercial finance, and finance transformation across large and complex organisations. He is currently Group Head of Financial Planning & Analysis at global law firm Clyde & Co, where he supports senior leadership through budgeting, forecasting, and financial insight, while contributing to the firm’s ongoing transformation and OneStream implementation.

Prior to Clyde & Co, Nicholas spent over 10 years at Landsec, a FTSE 100 listed property company, in a range of commercial and FP&A roles, eventually helping to shape the company’s approach to long‑range planning and financial modelling. He played a key role in the organisation’s transition to modern planning systems, working closely with teams across the business to streamline processes and improve visibility of key financial metrics.

Nicholas began his career at PwC, where he qualified as an ACA and gained exposure to a variety of FTSE 100 and international clients. A graduate of the University of Cambridge, he brings a thoughtful, collaborative approach to his work. Outside the office, he is a football coach and enjoys cycling, running, and family life with his wife and three daughters.
