For owners & investors
Business Consultation Services
Whether you are preparing to sell, looking to acquire, or trying to lift the value of the firm you run, an experienced adviser turns a daunting decision into a clear, confident plan.
How I can help
I advise owners and investors in the accounting, taxation, secretarial and wider corporate-services sector on the decisions that matter most: when and how to sell, what to buy, what a firm is really worth, and how to make it worth more. The common thread is judgement earned from years inside these firms — not theory from the outside.
Every engagement is built around your situation. Some clients want a full brokered sale; others need a valuation, a second opinion on an offer, or a plan to strengthen the business before any transaction. I meet you where you are.
For owners planning an exit
Selling a professional practice is often a once-in-a-career event, and it is easy to leave value on the table by moving too soon, pricing on a rule of thumb, or approaching the wrong buyers. I help you prepare the firm, value it properly, reach qualified acquirers discreetly, and negotiate terms that protect your clients, your staff and your proceeds.
- Honest, evidence-based valuation of your practice
- Preparation that lifts value before you go to market
- Discreet access to qualified regional buyers
- Negotiation and deal structuring on your side of the table
- A handover plan that protects clients and reputation
For buyers and investors
If you are looking to acquire or invest in a professional-services firm, the risk is paying too much for the wrong practice. I help you define what a good target looks like, assess opportunities objectively, understand what is really driving the numbers, and structure a deal that stands up after completion.
Having sat on the operating side of these firms, I can tell the difference between a practice that looks good on paper and one that will actually retain its clients and its people once ownership changes hands.
Valuation and financial due diligence
A clear-eyed valuation is the foundation of any good decision, on either side of a deal. Drawing on a background in auditing and financial due diligence, I assess a practice on what genuinely creates value — recurring revenue, retention, concentration, transferability and the quality of the records — rather than a blunt multiple of turnover.
The number that matters is not what a firm bills today, but how much of that revenue a new owner can rely on tomorrow. That is what proper valuation and due diligence reveal.
Why work with me
My background runs from auditing listed and private companies across the region, through building and leading a corporate service provider as its Chief Technology Officer, to acting as an independent strategic investor and broker. I have prepared firms, valued them, bought into them and sold them — so I understand these transactions from every seat at the table.
That perspective, combined with a genuinely regional network across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China and Indonesia, is what I bring to your decision. Every conversation is confidential, and the first one carries no obligation.
Frequently asked questions
Do you only broker sales, or do you advise more broadly?
Both. Some clients engage me to broker a full sale; others want a valuation, a review of an offer they have received, buy-side advice, or a plan to strengthen their firm before any transaction. I tailor the engagement to what you actually need.
Can you help me buy a firm rather than sell one?
Yes. I work with buyers and investors to define acquisition criteria, assess targets, understand the real drivers behind the numbers, and structure deals that hold up after completion.
What sectors do you focus on?
Accounting, taxation, GST, corporate secretarial and the wider corporate-services sector — the areas where I have direct operating and advisory experience.
How do we start?
With a confidential, no-obligation conversation about your situation and what you want to achieve. From there I will set out honestly how I can help and what the process would look like.
