Every stage of a business, from the first idea to eventual sale or succession, depends on sound financial and strategic advice behind it.
MBA Advisers’ Accounting & Business Advisory service brings together the full range of guidance a business needs across its lifetime, delivered by the same team throughout rather than handed off between specialists as circumstances change.
For businesses just starting out, we advise on the most suitable structure, whether that is a sole trader arrangement, a partnership or a company, and manage the practical steps that follow: registering the company with ASIC where relevant, registering your ABN, TFN and other tax registration, and setting up recording systems that meet statutory requirements from day one.
We prepare the business plans, cash flow projections and trading forecasts that guide early decisions and support finance applications, and we help establish the banking relationships a growing business relies on.
Strategic planning is at the heart of this service. We work with you to define where you want your business to be in three to five years, understand your competitors, and set clear objectives and financial targets. We then build a practical implementation strategy, supported by cashflow projections, so you can see how your plans will affect your financial position and stay on track.
If you’re preparing to hand the business to the next generation or to sell, we manage the details: we coordinate succession plans, prepare comparative valuations, set realistic sale prices and negotiate with prospective buyers on your behalf.
We also advise on acquisitions and mergers. That work includes reviewing your goals, conducting due diligence, preparing financial forecasts and cashflow projections, and helping with purchase negotiations and financing, so you know the risks and rewards before you commit to a new venture.
Where trusts form part of your business or family structure, we advise on setting them up correctly and make sure you meet your ongoing statutory obligations
