Meet the team series: Meet Sam
Every month, we’re shining a light on the people behind XfE, the friendly faces who make school finance simpler, smarter, and more supportive. This month, we’re kicking things off with the man who helped start it all: Sam.
What does Sam do?
Sam heads up the XfE team and has been part of the journey since day one. A fully qualified ACCA accountant and director at our sister company Thorne Widgery, Sam’s the driving force behind XfE’s mission to help schools and trusts modernise their finances through the power of cloud technology.
He’s not just good with numbers—he’s passionate about making things easier for schools. Whether it’s helping a school business manager streamline their workflows or introducing a trust to smarter, faster systems, Sam’s always looking for ways to save time, reduce admin, and unlock better decision-making.
From Xero to our very own XfE portal, Sam’s fingerprints are all over the systems we use every day. And he’s still leading the charge on what comes next.
In his own words…
Hey! Would be great to have a quote from Sam here about XfE, etc. We could do this for each member of the team when it is their turn to take the spotlight. - Ash
