Craig Alexander Rattray is a seasoned Finance Director, Chief Financial Officer and Entrepreneur with more than thirty years of strategic finance experience. Craig has raised capital, transformed profits, and built value for companies across multiple industries.
After decades advising private equity firms, high‑growth businesses, and stressed‑out owners, he learned the truth most never face: working harder isn’t the answer. Today, through his Know Your Numbers programme and The Freedom Circle groups, he helps business owners master their finances, reclaim their time, and build companies that work without them, whilst building a life of freedom.
Known for his straight‑talking, practical style; no fluff, no jargon, just results. Craig has helped countless entrepreneurs turn chaos into control and profit into genuine freedom. He’s also the host of the Know Your Numbers podcast and the author of several business books, including Mastering Cash Flow for Business Owners, Know Your Numbers, Lessons from the Rocking Chair, and Work Smart, Work Less, Make More.
Craig’s mission is simple: help business owners sleep better at night, make more money, and finally fall back in love with their business and life. He now lives a life of freedom in Crete, with his Greek wife Maria, and their two rag doll cats.
