About the author: Vladislav Popov

Updated By
Short answerThe guides, glossary and data reports on UK Company Data are written by Vladislav Popov, the developer who built the dataset behind them: the parser that reads about 37 million Companies House iXBRL accounts filed since 2008. Vladislav is a data and AI engineer, not an accountant, so every page is written from primary sources (legislation.gov.uk, GOV.UK and Companies House) and every figure comes from filed accounts or the public register.

Work on UK Company Data

Vladislav builds UK Company Data, the data and software behind this site: the loader for the monthly Companies House register, the iXBRL parser that turns machine-readable accounts into balance sheet and profit and loss figures, the company pages, the REST API and the MCP server that lets AI assistants query the data.

Before this Vladislav ran UK Company Financial Intelligence, a research project under the AIRR Rapid Access programme on the Isambard-AI supercomputer in Bristol. It used a vision language model to extract balance sheet figures from scanned PDF accounts and checked the results against iXBRL filings. The code is public on GitHub.
