I have over 18 years experience as a business adviser and partner and worked with all types of businesses. I understand what works (I currently work with businesses which private equity are looking to buy) and what doesn t (I worked for 10 years in business turnaround).
My primary skills are in financials analysis, modelling, accounting, business planning/strategy and implementation but don t just think of me as a numbers man. I ve run businesses in distress and have had to deal with solutions for legal, operational and regulatory issues.
With my work in M&A I also have insight into what can increase or decrease value in the eyes of a buyer or lender.
