financial advisory
The frequency of our financial advisory services
Through our professional financial advice, we aim to improve your company’s financial position, or to contribute to the realization or implementation of your project or idea. We adjust our work and engagement to specific requirements, whether your situation requires a creative solution or just an answer to a particular question or request. In both cases, our task is to profoundly understand your problem or need and to provide professional opinion, grounding it on a particular study, analysis or model, regardless of the sector or industry concerned, and regardless of whether the issue in question involves current operations, strategic investments or organisational and status changes.
With more demanding tasks, where an overall more creative solution is required, our problem-solving financial advice goes through the following phases – 1) analysis of the current financial status; 2) identification of the potential improvement areas; 3) providing recommendation with solutions; 4) assistance with implementation of recommended solutions; and 5) measuring effects. By controlling the entire process – from diagnosis to the evaluation of measure-implementation success, we are in the position to apply a non-standard compensation scheme, implying sharing the risk with our clients, and thereby linking our commission to your success. This unique approach makes us dependent on the quality of our own advice and thus enables us to shift from the role of external advisor and replace it with a position as our client’s and their project’s natural extension.
From our own entrepreneurial experience, we know how to recognize both success and failure in practice, while our academic background allows us to know what they are like in theory. We believe the combination of entrepreneurial practice and theory, together with our long-term advising experience, qualify us to share our knowledge and provide opinions to our clients.
With regard to standard on-demand services, we apply well-established and familiar solutions learned from decades of experience in preparing financial models, studies and analyses for clients from both the private and the government sector. We believe this qualifies us to provide high quality financial advice, aimed at improving your financial position, but at the same time at controlling the risks and finding your successful business frequency.
What standard services do we offer?
- CONDUCTING FINANCIAL ANALYSES - By conducting financial analyses through the assessment of your company’s activity, profitability, liquidity and investing KPI’s, we assess the characteristics of your business and identify potential improvement areas, thereby creating the grounds for decision making on different aspects of your business, including activity optimization, financing structure optimization, financing sources selection, investment potentials definition, and the like.
- FINANCIAL MODELLING - In a financial model the entire business or a particular project is turned into a logical and consistent numeric presentation containing both historic and projected future financial data. This enables performance tracking, planning, and running scenarios and what-if sensitivity analyses. The building of such a model is therefore the precondition of adequate financial control of the business and the base for communication with external capital providers.
- BUSINESS PLAN CRAFTING – This service includes the elaboration of your business idea or project in detail, and is followed by the production of relevant financial reports and calculations. As such, the business plan represents a foundation for all the studies and their calculations that follow here below.
- CONDUCTING COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS – Most often CBA’s are used in establishing your project's attractiveness, via a confrontation and detailed elaboration of all the gains (benefits) and pains (costs), i.e. the effects it produces. Most often it is to help the owner in making decisions about starting an investment or communicating a project’s attractiveness to external capital providers or other regulatory institutions.
- INVESTMENT STUDY DRAFTING – This service includes the elaboration of all the elements of an investment project that are of importance for calculating the economic benefits of an investment. It is primarily intended for you to critically assess your investment project's viability in order to prepare you to meet future credit liabilities. It is also an indispensable part of documentation when procuring the investment project’s external financing, most often bank loans.
- FEASIBILITY STUDY DRAFTING -These services are primarily performed for the purposes of public tenders or invitations, that is, for the needs of public authorities where besides standard investment study elements, other elements of the business activity which impact the wider community are also taken into consideration, especially those which affect local or state government budgets.
- CONSESSION FEASIBILITY STUDY DRAFTING –These services are primarily provided to public authorities and aimed at assessing the justification of granting concessions, aimed at establishing the optimum concession price, or for future concessionaires to submit their bids in response to public tenders when concessions or concession permits are being granted.
- FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING PLANS DRAFTING – These services follow when liquidity or solvency issues are identified. When drafting restructuring plans, we replace the current financing structure with an optimal one by adjusting the amounts, prices and maturities, aimed at achieving an optimal and sustainable financial structure.
- BUSINESS OPTIMISATION PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION – This is a particular aspect of financial restructuring, related to operative improvements in the business, aimed at achieving optimum levels of activity, profitability, liquidity and investing.
