About

The practice.

Buxton Digital exists because the combination of genuine finance depth and real systems capability — someone who will sit inside your infrastructure and build — is rare.

Shane Buxton

Founder and Director

Shane is a finance professional who operates at the intersection of finance transformation, data architecture, and AI-enabled systems. With deep experience across FP&A, Microsoft Fabric, Business Central, and enterprise data modelling, he designs and builds the finance architectures that others only describe in slide decks.

Every engagement is delivered directly. No subcontractors, no junior hand-offs. When you engage Buxton Digital, you work with Shane throughout — from the initial diagnostic through to the final architecture in production.

The practice is deliberately small. That's a feature, not a limitation.

How we work

A few things that matter to us.

Architecture before tools

Most finance technology problems are architecture problems. We design the structure before we touch the systems. The right tool in the wrong architecture is still a problem.

Build within what you have

We don't recommend platform replacements. The business case for ripping out an ERP is rarely as strong as the case for structuring what's already there. We work within your infrastructure.

Outcomes, not deliverables

A document that describes what should be built isn't a finance transformation. We measure success by what's running in production and what it's replaced — not by what we've handed over.

Direct engagement only

Every engagement is run personally. No project managers between you and the work. No junior team members learning on your time. The person you speak to is the person who builds.

SME to mid-market businesses (£5M–£100M revenue)
