Examples of our work

  • An Australian Manufacturer engaged us following a substantial acquisition that tripled turnover but did not deliver planned synergies. We assisted in the development of strategies that led to a $41million net profit turnaround from a net loss of $18 million to a net profit of $23 million two years later.
  • We played a key role in the public offer of $60 million in secured bonds for a TCF Manufacturer. The bond issue was an outstanding success and oversubscribed in four days, even though our client had reported losses in excess of $30 million over the preceding 2.5 years and was carrying equity of only $10 million.
  • We made a significant contribution to the due diligence process and in the development of the prospectus for a $250 million initial public offering of shares in a New Zealand based manufacturer.
  • A successful diversified property, construction and resources group, asked us to overhaul its systems, business performance reporting, financial control and to deliver efficiency to its back office operations. Following our review and recommendations we restructured and up-skilled their finance and administration function, and identified, then oversaw the implementation of a new business system that delivered what our client was looking for. Our client halved their recurrent finance and administration costs.
  • We prepared a report investigating areas for potential revenue growth for a public hospital which resulted in a 33% increase in services income.
  • We assisted a company providing capital equipment and consumables to the agricultural industry to reduce outstanding accounts receivable by 35 days by providing a better understanding of their customer's businesses and cash flows, changing the payment structure on capital projects and introducing procedures and controls to closely monitor poor performing dealers. The reduction in outstanding accounts injected $2 million back into cash flow.
  • We were engaged by a wholesaler that dealt with major retailers, to review growth and advertising rebates paid. We identified duplicated claims of $168,000, which were reimbursed.
  • We were asked to review insurance recharge accounts by a global mining and resources company. We reconciled the accounts and corrected in excess of $20million in incorrectly charged premiums.
