Business Planning & Exit Strategy
To fail to plan is to plan to fail...
We help our clients with benchmarking and business reviews etc., that will lead them to prioritise and focus on the critical steps that make a difference. As experienced business people, we can help develop Action Plans that deliver the outcomes. As finance professionals, we can link the Business Plans to a Financial Plan. We also have experience of helping companies achieve “Exit”.
For more detail please read some of our case studies and blog posts:
David joined the board of Academia late in 2012 as an advisor and Part Time FD. David left the board in September 2017 after helping us recruit a full time FD in March 2017.
In almost five years David got involved in all major discussions and decisions. He played a key role in upgrading the financial reporting, both quality and speed of reporting improved significantly versus the period before David arrived. He coached and strengthened the finance team, helped us recruit a new controller, covered for this controller whilst she was on maternity leave and provided practical support to the management accountant amongst others. David played an important role in the acquisition of Charterhouse Muller Limited, which has proved to be an excellent investment for Academia. David also helped us to withdraw from several other less attractive investments. He helped us broker a friendly Exit with a significant shareholder.
