If you’re a CFO, you know that your role is no longer limited to finance.
Typically, many boards view CFOs as the most important corporate executive after the CEO.
We work as finance consultants in partnership with finance leaders in global businesses who are accountable for adding value across their entire organisation, driving decisions and using insights from every department.
From marketing to supply chain, sales to new product development, our advisory services support the whole picture.
We have also provided finance consulting to clients to help implement finance technology, update operating models, and advise on value-based management.
We may offer finance consulting, but we don’t just ‘consult’.
Our approach is to work alongside our clients’ teams, roll our sleeves up and make things happen.
Our team will work with you to explore your challenges, lift the lid on all the relevant areas and really diagnose a solution that we can help you to deliver.
We have consulting experience throughout the lifecycle of finance change projects, revitalising finance departments and leaving a legacy of lasting results.
We have extensive experience supporting transactions of all sizes, working with our clients and their partners to deliver. Here are just some of the ways we can assist:
With a wealth of experience in financing global businesses we can support with all aspects of this business critical lever.
Asset based lending, securitisation, bonds and secured loans are a key competency. With asset backed facilities we can cover both the operational and financing considerations to ensure ongoing compliance.
We have many years of experience in optimising collateral bases to make sure you get the most from your facilities.
Understanding the key drivers of your cost base and resultant pricing is crucial for all businesses. Do you understand the activities and the resultant costs? We can support in complex commercial negotiations from our wealth of experience.
We can support with the analysis and preparation of pricing models whilst identifying opportunities to be more competitive.
The models will be created with scenarios so that you understand the impact of changes may have prior to entering discussions.
So often businesses continue to trade without understanding the drivers of profitability. We support businesses to get to a position of informed decision
We can review and analyse current commercial arrangements with suppliers and customers.
This will result in a thorough understanding of where your costs or margins are generated and how it could be enhanced.
We can perform a diagnostic on your expenditure and help with a plan to reduce expenditure.
Often this reduction may involve a redesign to parts of your operating model, but this will mean the benefits are sustainable and not achieved by pushing the workload elsewhere in the organisation
We have undertaken numerous disposals over the years and have significant Corporate Finance experience deal with complex situations.
We can support you with all stages of the preparation for sale including writing Information Memoranda and building financial models prior to lifting the lid to advisers and the outside world.
