How we can help
Equity Capital Markets
Working across the Main Market, AIM and Aquis we provide the full range of Reporting Accountant services to both private companies looking to IPO and to those already listed but looking at reverse acquisition opportunities.
These services include accountants’ reports on historical financial information, long form reports, working capital reports and all comfort letters. We also support a number of pre-IPO companies on their IPO growth journey, ensuring that they are ready ahead of time to reduce management workload later in the process.
M&A Due Diligence
To help you make an informed decision, our financial due diligence procedures allow us to enhance the changes of a transaction being successful. We look to add value and demonstrate potential growth opportunities arising from the transaction.
We offer both buy side and sell side support to companies. Buy side due diligence services provide the detailed review that purchasers need to make an informed decision about the viability and performance of a business.
Vendor due diligence is a very detailed in depth dive of the company’s financials prior to issuing any information to prospective buyers. This can be extremely helpful when bringing a business to market as it front loads many of the due diligence aspects and in turn means that the workload during the sales process is reduced.
Transaction Support
Understand the potential tax impact of any transaction from valuation to restructuring. We provide end-to-end guidance to individuals and businesses throughout the sale cycle, including post-transaction advice.
Financial Modelling
Our tailored financial models help you to diagnose the opportunities, risks and potential pinch points in your business. Our models become practical assets that inform future performance.
