About Tim Flynn (TS Flynn)

Tim Flynn (writing under the historical fiction pen name TS Flynn) is a Brisbane-based corporate finance executive, global humanitarian financial strategist, and published novelist.

Corporate & Humanitarian Finance

Operating as an elite Interim CFO, Change Manager, and Project Manager, Tim stabilizes high-turnover organizations ($10M–$100M+) spanning healthcare, manufacturing, and local government. Over his extensive financial career, he has preserved a 100% record of unqualified audit reports across multiple portfolios, directed complex ERP system migrations, and captured over $6 million in operational savings and structural refunds for his clients.

His governance expertise is anchored by high-risk global deployments, including serving as an Audit Director for AusAID (DFAT) managing a $3 billion international aid fund, and deploying as the international CFO for the NGO ACTED in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Literary Profile

As TS Flynn, he channels decades of operational experience into 19th-century colonial Australian historical fiction. Inspired by true penal colony records discovered while mapping his family ancestry, he authored the critically acclaimed historical novel Part an Irishman: The Regiment. His writing blends precise archival authenticity with structural realism—heavily influenced by his background holding a Queen's Commission from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and serving as an Infantry Captain in the Royal Irish Rangers.
