Iain Bacon

Iain joined GreenSquare in 2019. He is a chartered accountant with more than 20 years’ experience in senior positions across a range of public, private and not for profit organisations. He has worked as finance director for One Housing, Viridian and the Guinness Partnership, and previously worked for a range of organisations including Capita Group. Iain is also currently a board member and chair of the audit committee at Silva Homes.

Iain has an exceptional track record of transforming financial performance, including at Viridian, a housing association with 16,000 homes and 900 staff. There he managed financial corporate risks, enabling the organisation to regain its V1/G1 ratings from the regulator and deliver continuous year on year growth in net surplus. He was instrumental in the merger with AmicusHorizon, to form Optivo, and developed the corporate finance strategy which delivered a 100% increase in development capacity for the new group.
