Working with your team
We begin with the business model, the current finance arrangements and the decisions ahead. Together, we identify the priorities, information requirements and people responsible for the work.
Our role is to bring financial oversight and review into that process, coordinating with your team and existing advisers. Management retains decision and approval authority.
The engagement can provide ongoing support or focus on a particular stage of the business, with responsibilities and review points agreed around the need.
