Business Advisory
Financial modelling, business plans, funding applications and risk management, practical advice to help your business grow with confidence.
Business advisory built around your numbers
Good business advisory turns the figures you already produce into clearer decisions. As chartered accountants and registered auditors serving the Midlands, we sit beside owner-managers in Mullingar, Longford, Trim and Athlone to plan ahead, fund growth and manage the risks of running a business.
Compliance work tells you what has happened. Advisory work shapes what happens next. Because we prepare many clients’ accounts, payroll and tax returns, the advice we give is built on numbers we know we can trust, not assumptions.
How we help businesses move forward
Every business is at a different stage, so we shape the support around your situation rather than selling a fixed package. The services in this pillar work on their own or together.
- Financial modelling and projections, forecasts and cash flow models that stress-test your plans and give lenders confidence.
- Business plans and finance applications, clear, credible plans that present your case for funding in the strongest light.
- Project management, hands-on oversight to keep important business initiatives on time and on budget.
- Accounting systems and computerisation, choosing and setting up cloud accounting software that genuinely saves you time.
- Training services, practical, jargon-free training for you and your team.
- Business risk management, spotting and managing the financial risks that could derail the business before they become problems.
Advice you can act on
A forecast is only useful if it changes a decision. A plan is only worth writing if someone reads it and says yes. We focus on advice that leads somewhere: a funding line secured, a cash flow gap closed before it bites, a system that frees up a day a week, a risk dealt with while it is still small.
Knowing your numbers are accurate makes the planning easier, which is why our advisory work sits alongside our accounts preparation and management accounts. When a decision has a tax angle, and most do, we bring in our tax planning team so nothing is missed.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between business advisory and accounting services?
Accounting work records and reports what has already happened, your year-end accounts, VAT returns and payroll. Business advisory looks forward. We use your numbers to help you plan, forecast cash flow, raise finance, manage risk and make better decisions about where the business is going. Most of our advisory clients also use us for their compliance work, so the advice is always grounded in figures we know are accurate.
Do I need to be a large company to benefit from business advisory?
No. Much of our advisory work is for owner-managed businesses and SMEs across the Midlands, sole traders thinking about incorporating, growing practices that need a cash flow forecast for the bank, and established companies planning the next stage. The advice scales to the size and stage of your business.
Can you help me prepare a business plan for a bank loan or grant?
Yes. We prepare bankable business plans and finance applications with realistic financial projections that lenders, Local Enterprise Offices and other funders expect to see. We can also attend meetings with your bank if that helps your case.
How do we get started with business advisory?
The first step is a free consultation. We listen to where you are and where you want to be, then suggest the support that will make the biggest difference, whether that is a forecast, a plan, a systems review or an ongoing advisory relationship. Get in touch and we will set up a meeting at the office that suits you.
