Our services in detail

Working Capital Management : we take an 'end to end' approach to each of the business processes that form working capital. We work with clients through the process from supplier into stock-holding and from receivables to receipt of cash to release funds for their business and help them understand the most effective way of managing their working capital.

 

Operational Performance Improvement : often companies set clear objectives for the costs and performance of their business, however, successfully implementing strategies to achieve these goals can be more challenging. Failure to deliver goals can cause the business to face unexpected decreases in cashflow and profit, and also cause concern to stakeholders. We can work with clients to advise them whether their operational goals are realistic for their business; identify other operational wins; and assist them to successfully execute strategies.

 

Financial Review: our financial review services can help you understand your financial situation by taking a pragmatic view of your current financial position, short-term cash flow, historical trading, projected trading and identification of the key business drivers to develop a credible restructuring plan.

 

Receivables Management: where the Bank requires more comfort regarding the collectability of a client's receivables ledger, we are able to offer one off reviews of the ledger; ongoing monitoring alongside the company's management; or collect-out services in the case of an insolvency.

 

Specialist advice to Professional Practice firms: we have developed a tailored review, performed by a specialist team, which specifically focuses on the issues commonly faced by law firms and other professional practices, and how to relieve some of those pressures going forward.

 

Accelerated Mergers & Acquisitions: whatever the timescale for the sale of the business, our Business Restructuring and Corporate Finance teams will capably manage the sale process.

 

Pension Advisory: this is a very common area for concern nowadays and we have developed an experience team dedicated to working with the Pension Trustees and the Company's own advisers to achieve an effective outcome.

 

Healthcare Advisory: we have a specialist team which offer core financial recovery and operational performance improvement expertise to the health market place. With a wealth of knowledge and skills to support NHS organisations in strategic and tactical planning, governance and assurance development and improving the productivity and efficiency of clinical and corporate services.

 

Re-financing: If the current financing structure is not appropriate for the business, given its current stage, we can recommend alternative structures. More importantly, we have extensive contacts among debt and equity providers to be able to deliver re-financing strategies. Sometimes, the need to re-finance comes from nothing more than relationship fatigue. If we cannot help repair the existing relationship we can communicate the key issues to a new financier with the credibility of our relationships with them and our objectivity.

 

Debt advisory: We can advise on appropriate debt structures and terms, given our understanding of the business from the financial review. This may include hedging for interest or currency, as well as other financial instruments to reduce risk.

Fraud: We use the latest computer forensic tools to secure electronic evidence and maintain its integrity for any future Court use.

Typical investigations that we undertake include:

• procurement fraud

• employee/management theft,

• third party fraud,

• collusion between employees and third parties

• false accounting "blackhole" investigations.
