Following the merger with Murray Harcourt, we continue to support business start-ups as well as established companies, using a “hands-on” approach to: ♦ Help you get the right funding: Raising the right finance for your business can be a bit of a minefield.. We work with you to assess the options available and help you establish the best possible plan to raise the additional finance you need. ♦ Managing your cash flow: A lack of cash is the single biggest reason that companies, of any size, fail. Preparing a cash flow forecast for your business is a relatively simple process, using available information to predict how much cash you will have going in and out of your business. This in turn will help analyse whether the business is achieving the financial objectives set out in the business plan. ♦ Exit successfully: We can help you plan the future of your business, and at the right time we will be on hand to assist your successful exit, ensuring you gain all the financial rewards. We have experience guiding companies through MBOs, MBIs and trade sales and, have assisted companies to float on AIM. Specialties: Setting up in business/business development. Accountancy. Budgeting and forecasting. Business and personal taxation. Auditing and reporting. Raising finance. Business rescue.

I founded the Practice, with the assistance of my colleagues, in 1975. I have always been passionately interested in assisting small businesses to develop and reach their full potential. Using the resources of my Practice, where appropriate, and applying a very “hands-on” approach, over the past 35 years I have been involved in a range of very diverse businesses from start-ups and SME’s to larger owner-managed businesses and quoted companies. In many cases I have been appointed as a non-executive director to the boards of the companies which I assist. Apart from my own expertise in financial and corporate advisory matters, I have built up a wide range of contacts from many different industries and organisations which has added considerably to my general business experience and which can be used to the benefit of the companies with which I am involved.
