“Calvin brought a different perspective on our business, our people, our challenges and more importantly, our opportunities to deliver sustainable growth. Calvin is emotionally intelligent and works very efficiently with our Sr team. But I believe his key strength is to focus on all the touch points of the business, leaving no stones unturned and that has helped us creating a clear and efficient way of measuring and controlling our growth. Calvin is the person you go to when you want and need a clear, objective and honest perspective to a difficult challenge. Just be prepared for the honesty of his answer: Calvin will tell you as it is. A pretty important quality in my book.”
Stephane, Managing Director
“I was new to the world of coaching, at first unsure if it would be of benefit, but within the first session I knew it would be a game changer for me. Having spent months absorbing podcasts, my own thoughts, my own (multiple) to do lists, finally some clarity amongst the noise!
I leave my coaching sessions with Calvin feeling empowered, often having had moments of real clarity bringing an end to what are sometimes week long debates in my head.
This investment of time helps me to continuously improve my self-awareness, and as a result confidence in my ability to deal with an ever evolving international business. The sessions allow me to move forward and execute with conviction and hold me to account to be the agent of change in my business and personal life.
Calvin has helped me to better understand and have confidence in my ability to solve challenges that had become overwhelming; for that I cannot thank him enough! I would highly recommend him as an Executive Coach.”
Bridey, Founder
“I've had the pleasure of working closely with Calvin for many years now and have always valued his input at a commercial and strategic level - also he has a genuine understanding of people and what makes them tick, which makes working with him at a Senior Finance level really refreshing. He asks the tough questions, as you would expect from a top level CFO, but listens to all viewpoints to ensure optimum 360 business decisions are made”

“Calvin has helped us to successfully grapple with some of the larger strategic challenges that we have faced as a business. He is insightful, diligent and informed and been an important factor in our success. He is also a pleasure to spend time with.”
Neil, Managing Director
“I have worked with Calvin as a Coach and I find that his style allows him to open the conversation with you to review options, and yet is keen to get to actionable points by the end. I always spend time preparing for our coaching sessions so that I get the most out of them, and yet the conversation with Calvin often takes a far different path to that which I personally took in my preparation.
This process, in my experience, leads me to create far more impactful insights. I have found my sessions to be invaluable.”
Dan, Managing Director
"Calvin Sellers is an astute financial and accounting professional. Besides being technically excellent, he is a wise sounding board, a quick worker and also a good laugh. He helped steer us through some landmark M&A work this past year."

Billy, Financial Controller
"Calm, patient, smart and witty - the greatest balance of wisdom and humour. Calvin has an ability to digest complexity and find a clear pathway through. In my several years working with him, I've always found him to be both a considered confidant and wise friend."
Cat, Founder
“From the moment I hired Calvin, I knew I was in safe hands. I hired Calvin to advise my company on a rather complicated share-scheme scenario. After an initial consultation call, Calvin promptly sent through what he could achieve for us, a realistic time-line for delivery, and a clear fee structure.”

“Calvin is such a sound person to have on your team. He is knowledgeable, and experienced, yet can still think like an entrepreneur. Not only does he give great advice he totally understands the modern landscape of business. An invaluable trait when you are in a start up situation. Wrap up his calm, confident manner, with his cheeky sense of humour and you have a man you want to spend time with. Thank you for all your help Calvin.”
Yan, Founder & ECD
“Calvin was very helpful when I started looking for my next career move and wanted to identify which path I should follow. Each session unravelled new information which has helped me in my career search but also to get to know my leadership style better. I enjoyed each session because Calvin finds ways to make me think differently about my next career move without derailing it from my main goal. I learnt a lot about myself and feel more equipped for my next job. ”
Virginie, Business Director
“Calvin has worked with myself and Cat for just over a year. In that time he has educated and enable both us and our team to make faster and wiser decisions throughout a period of rapid growth and agency investment. Calvin has the ability to explain the most complex of agency scenarios to all stakeholders with absolute clarity. He has built a finance team and process at Cult LDN that not only delivers it fits our culture and is a real pleasure! He continues to go above and beyond his remit - bringing business planning expertise advice at all hours - which is so appreciated. Personally, he has brought me understanding and peace of mind and is someone I would absolutely consider a friend and colleague.”

"I thoroughly enjoyed my coaching sessions with Calvin.
We met just as the pandemic was breaking when I was in some real need of career guidance. I was sceptical at first as I’m not one to ask for help – but Calvin was very quickly able to help me create a clear plan for my future, whilst also understanding what motivates me.
I learned more about myself in our following sessions and felt my confidence grow in my own ability. His calm and friendly manner, matched with his experience, makes him an excellent source of knowledge and guidance."
Chris, Manager
“Calvin has been our CFO for almost a year, and without a doubt has transformed our business and the success of Cult. He always describes good financials as the backbone of the business, and nothing could be truer. We are healthier financially than we've ever been, all down to his smart approach and sage advice. In saying that he's delivered all this with a wit and charm that no other CFO could offer and Bridey and I have been incredibly fortunate to have a partner in crime we love to spend time with.”
