CONSULTANCY
OUR OFFERING IS SIMPLE: DEEP EXPERTISE IN RETAIL FINANCIAL SERVICES
Consultancy forms the core of our business at Harrison Spence and we are available for work across a broad range of topics.
We are focused on helping businesses to build revenue, build profits, sustainable high performance and company valuation, our experienced consultants use sound methodology and a range of both diagnostic and implementation tools that enable us to create bespoke business solutions for each client engagement.
All our people are senior, with extensive hands-on experience of running IFA practices, accountancy firms and corporate finance groups as well as consumer and manufacturing businesses. We can assist businesses of all shapes, sizes and budgets.
All our work is conducted in a consultative and collaborative manner to help you achieve your desired outcome.
While each of our engagements is bespoke, there are some common themes across our consultancy work:
Pre-Sale BOT – Business On Track
We are often engaged by IFAs in the years running up to a business sale and we use this time to put the business on a footing that will not only ensure as smooth a sale as possible but will help realise the maximum sale price for the owners.
Improving Business Performance
We help clients maximise the value of their businesses. This ranges from advice, troubleshooting and mentoring to detailed recommendations on improving profitability, operations and client service.
Assessing Business Risks
Post RDR and now with the implementation of Mifid II, the financial services industry can be a tough place to operate. We help clients to identify and mitigate risks
Understanding the Business Landscape
