For accounting firms
Your Client. Our Specialist Expertise.
Extend your firm's capabilities without building a specialist valuation or forensic team.
Where we can help your clients
Sales, buyouts and restructures
Independent valuations of businesses and shares for transactions, partner exits and related-party transfers.
Tax-related market valuations
Market value support for restructures, rollovers and CGT. You keep the tax advice.
Dispute valuations
Where a figure will be tested by another party, an external valuer protects your independence and your client.
Forensic questions
Missing funds, unexplained payments or suspected irregularities in a client's business.
Payroll compliance for employer clients
Award recalculations and underpayment reviews, without you building a payroll compliance team.
Exit readiness
Clients thinking about selling or succession, who need a value assessment and a plan.
How the relationship works
- You keep the client. We do not offer bookkeeping, tax compliance or general accounting work to referred clients.
- Roles agreed upfront. We confirm in writing what we will do, what you will do, and how we keep you informed.
- Confidentiality. Client information is used only for the engagement.
- Independence. Our opinions are our own. Where a matter requires independence from all parties, we will say so.
- Clear fees. The client is quoted directly for our work. Any referral arrangement is disclosed and agreed in advance.
