The starting point

When you need us

Some decisions don’t fit into day-to-day advice: a transaction on the table, accounts that don’t match reality or a process that eats up your team’s hours. That is where a project with a defined scope, timeline and deliverable comes in.

You have a transaction under way

A purchase, a sale or new investors coming in, and you need to know what you are buying or selling before you sign.

Questions about your tax situation

You suspect there is accumulated risk, or you want a second opinion on a complex transaction.

The accounts are no help in making decisions

Closes that arrive late, figures that cannot be compared across periods, or financial years that have to be redone.

Your team loses hours on manual tasks

Manual reconciliations, data copied from one system to another and a close that depends on nobody making a mistake.

When there is a transaction, a risk or an opportunity

Tax projects

Planning
Tax planning for transactions

How to structure the transaction before executing it: the alternatives, the tax cost of each and the one that makes sense in your case.

Deliverable
Report with the recommended option and its cost
Risk
Tax risk review

What risk has built up in the open years and what can still be corrected in time: years not yet statute-barred, intra-group transactions and risks ranked by amount and probability.

Deliverable
Contingency map and remediation plan
Due diligence
Tax due diligence

Tax review of the target company: contingencies quantified, not just listed, and the warranties and representations to require in the contract.

Deliverable
Due diligence report with the warranties to demand
From disorganised accounts to reliable ones

Accounting and control projects

When the accounts do not reflect the business, the answer is not more detail: it is rebuilding them with sound judgement and leaving in place a closing model that holds up.

Automation

The same close, with half the manual work

We redesign the flow of information: what comes in, who reviews it and at what point it is closed. We don’t change your tools for the sake of it: we change the flow and, if needed, the tool.

Before
Invoices by email, across several inboxes
Data copied from one system to another
Manual bank reconciliation in a spreadsheet
A close that depends on a single person
After
A single entry point for documents
Integration between invoicing, bank and accounting
Automatic reconciliation: only exceptions to review
Calendar with assigned owners and status tracking
Custom Power BI dashboard
When you buy, sell or raise capital

Corporate transactions: acquisitions, sales and funding rounds

We support you through the whole transaction, from valuation to completion. Due diligence is one step along the way, not the entire project.

  1. Company valuation

    A defensible method and range, debt and working capital adjustments, and price scenarios.

  2. Tax and financial due diligence

    What is inside, quantified and ranked by amount, with its impact on the price.

  3. Negotiation support

    Price, warranties, adjustments and earn-out: what to concede and what not to, with the numbers in front of you.

  4. Coordination through to completion

    Coordination of advisers, execution and signing, and subsequent accounting and tax integration.
