Case studies

Selected engagements.

A small set of representative engagements: what clients came to us with, how we worked together, and what changed as a result.

Financial services

Preparing a mid-market firm for institutional investment

Challenge

A scaling financial services firm needed finance, reporting and governance fit for institutional scrutiny.

Approach

Fractional CFO engagement combined with a tailored governance and controls review.

Outcome

Investment completed on improved terms; management team retained control of the story.

"They brought clarity to our reporting, discipline to our forecasting, and a partner we can genuinely call on."

Owner-managed

A long-planned exit for a founder-led business

Challenge

The founder wanted to begin planning a sale two years out, with tax and structure to tidy up first.

Approach

Integrated tax planning, structural work and exit preparation across an 18-month programme.

Outcome

Business sold to a strategic buyer at the upper end of the range considered realistic.

"They started the conversation years before we needed it, and it showed in the outcome."

Professional services

Profitability and partner remuneration reset

Challenge

A professional services partnership needed clearer profitability analysis and a reset of partner remuneration.

Approach
