We have specialist technical knowledge enabling us to advise the Courts, solicitors, businesses and individuals on financial issues during legal proceedings and are well placed to provide prompt, accurate and completely independent financial advice to assist you to resolve your legal matt

We specialise in advising on how to effect successful business sales and acquisitions.
 

The key elements of our corporate finance service may involve finding you a buyer and / or a target business, valuing the business, negotiating commercial terms and raising finance, with project management, advice and support from start to finish.
 

We appreciate how important a sale or acquisition is to our clients, and how stressful the process can be. Our ‘full service’ simplifies the process whilst making sure risks are minimised whilst rewards are maximised.

Many businesses can be adequately monitored by regular review of management accounts.
 

We will ensure your financial information is processed, reviewed and key points highlighted on a timely basis, so that your business decisions are based on sound information.
 

Financial forecasting is also an essential tool in monitoring the future requirements of a business and managing the cash flows.
 

We can help you set up and monitor forecasts at your required level of complexity and a range of dates.

A business plan can be an essential tool in the process of setting up, managing and developing your business. If you require finance, a plan is normally required by external lenders and investors.

The plan, and the process of preparing it, provides a clear approach to identifying the asset needs and financing requirements of the business. It also highlights areas of risk and uncertainty.

We can help with your business planning process, from the setting up stage, helping you through the compilation of information, reviewing your plan and providing ongoing monitoring services and suggesting courses of action.

We will notify you of your tax liabilities on a timely basis and ensure the tax authorities receive your tax returns when due.

We will look at options to ensure the profits you draw from your business are taken in a tax-efficient manner. 

We will explain things clearly so that you understand your tax position.
