Business Valuation Services
A true business valuation is not the number you get from your balance sheet. It includes more intangible aspects, such as your ownership structure and how your company fits within the wider market.

Running a business is difficult.
Growing a business is even more of a challenge – how can you make plans when day-to-day firefighting is taking all your attention and sapping all your energy?
So when you call your accountant, you need an answer – right now. But often all you get is noise, avoidance tactics and ‘we’ll get back to you’.
Anyone with basic accountancy training can balance a spreadsheet or submit company accounts to HMRC. But only professionally trained advisory accountants with years of experience can help you set up the right company structure, act as your interim Financial Director or help you with your exit strategy.
So why is it that most accountancy firms hide their experts away and let the most inexperienced members of staff answer the phone?
That makes no sense to us.
So we don’t do things that way. Instead, our most experienced accountants answer the phone, giving you immediate access to the expertise you’re actually paying for. Our less experienced members of staff are doing the legwork, like preparing your tax returns and accounts.
If that sounds like a breath of fresh air to you – give us a call and see for yourself how easy it is to get hold of someone who can give you the answers you need.

Our Business Development Services
Many businesses don’t have the luxury of a full time (or even part time) Financial Director to take the strategic view needed. The good news is this is exactly where we can help.
We have an established track record of working very closely with our clients at a strategic financial level. We can help you forecast for the future, structure your start-up, handle mergers & acquisitions and plan your exit strategy. We are also able to support business valuation and due diligence work.
Business Investigation / Due diligence services
A due diligence review takes a look at the external company’s finances, its structure and its internal planning and staff.
Strategic Review Services
If you want to make forward progress and grow over time, you’ll need to take more of a top-level view. This is where a strategic plan is essential to keep you focused on your longer-term targets.
Forecasting
As your business grows it will become more important that you forecast sales, purchases and other financial activities for the year ahead.
