Beyond compliance, a business needs an outside perspective to make the right financial decisions. At Ease Advisory, we act as an adviser on your key projects, with the dual accounting and tax expertise needed to measure their impacts precisely.
Business plans and forecasts
We help you build robust business plans and reliable cash flow forecasts, whether to launch an activity, convince a financial partner or steer your growth. We model your assumptions and test their robustness against different scenarios.
Transactions and restructurings
We support the transactions that mark the life of a business:
- Fundraising
- Business transfer
- Disposal or acquisition
- Group reorganisation
We help you anticipate the accounting, tax and financial consequences, and secure their implementation.
Business valuation
During a transfer, the sale of a business or the arrival of a new partner, we carry out business valuations using recognised methods, in order to provide you with an objective, well-reasoned basis for your negotiations.
Technical consulting and IFRS
For the most complex structures, we carry out technical consulting assignments:
- IFRS compliance
- Treatment of specific accounting issues
- Support during due diligence
- Support for your in-house teams
How we work
Every assignment begins with a precise scoping of the need and ends with a deliverable you can act on. We favour short, structured engagements with a timetable set out from the start.
| Stage | What we do | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Scoping | A meeting to define the need, the constraints and the timetable | An engagement letter setting out the scope and the fees |
| Assessment | Analysis of the accounts, the contracts and the management data | A summary note of the points requiring attention |
| Modelling | Building the financial model and stress-testing the assumptions | A documented working file that can be handed over |
| Reporting back | Presentation of the conclusions and of the scenarios | A written report and a debriefing meeting |
| Follow-up | Support during implementation and updating of the model | Scheduled progress reviews |
Financial modelling and steering
A business plan is only worth something if its assumptions are explicit and if the model allows them to be varied. We build readable models, in which every parameter is isolated and documented:
- Revenue
- Margin
- Working capital requirement
- Investments and financing
You can then test your own scenarios without depending on us.
Dashboards and management indicators
Beyond the annual accounts, running a business calls for monthly or quarterly reference points. Together we define a deliberately short list of indicators that genuinely matter to your activity, then we set up the dashboard that feeds them from your accounting records.
Fundraising and due diligence
During a fundraising or a disposal, the investor or the buyer will examine your accounts in detail. We prepare that review upstream:
- Putting the documentation in order
- Identifying the points likely to be challenged
- Preparing the answers
We can also act on the buyer's side, for a targeted financial review.
Valuation: the approaches we combine
There is no single value for a business, only a range that becomes clearer when several converging approaches are used.
- The asset-based approach, built on revalued net assets
- The cash-flow approach, which discounts expected future results
- The market approach, based on comparable transactions or companies
- The adjustments for size, for liquidity and for dependence on the owner-manager
We always explain the gaps between these approaches, because it is reading them together that produces a solid negotiating position.
Combined accounting and tax expertise
A transaction is judged after tax. Each of these decisions has tax consequences that can change the balance of the project:
- Structuring an acquisition
- Choosing between a contribution and a sale
- Choosing the form of a subsidiary
Handling both dimensions within the same firm avoids back-and-forth and blind spots.
What we do not do
We do not provide investment advice or investment services, and we do not act as lawyers. Where a question falls within those areas, we point you to the appropriate professional and work alongside them.
Who is it for?
We work with directors, groups and investors that need a partner able to combine strategic vision and technical mastery to inform their most important decisions.
Frequently asked questions
When should you bring in an external financial adviser?
Usually before a structuring decision: starting an activity, raising funds, an acquisition, a transfer of ownership or a group reorganisation. An outside view also helps when the accounts alone are no longer enough to steer the business day to day.
How long does it take to build a business plan?
That depends on how mature the available data is. A three to five year model covering profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow generally takes two to four weeks from scoping to final presentation.
How do you value a business?
We combine several approaches: asset-based, discounted future cash flows and market comparables. We report a documented value range rather than a single figure, and explain the gaps between the methods.
Do you act for buyers as well as sellers?
Yes, but never on the same transaction. We can prepare a sale file or carry out a focused financial review on behalf of a buyer.
Do your assignments include investment advice?
No. We do not provide investment advice or investment services. Our work covers the accounting, financial and tax analysis of transactions and their quantified consequences.
How are your fees set?
The scope and the fees are agreed in an engagement letter before the work starts. Depending on the nature of the work, we offer either a fixed fee or a time-based budget with an agreed cap.
