We help founders and business owners prepare for a successful exit — maximising valuation, minimising risk, and ensuring you’re in control of what comes next.

We work with owners 12 to 36 months before a planned sale, or immediately when an unexpected opportunity arrives. Our work is structured, confidential, and entirely focused on your outcome.
Over 25 years I have valued more than 2,000 businesses — from early-stage companies to ASX-listed groups — and advised on matters across Australia, the UK, the US, Hong Kong, Singapore, and New Zealand.
I began my career at Deloitte, where I prepared US listing documents for Australian businesses seeking to list on American exchanges. I later completed Stanford University’s Real Option Valuation Analysis program, which shaped how I approach complex, high-stakes valuations. I later joined KPMG and then I have been working independently since 2006.

Expertise
Valuation & Gap Analysis
Understand exactly what your business is worth today — and what it could be worth with the right preparation. We identify the gaps between current state and maximum value.
Operational Exit Prep
Remove owner dependency, tighten financial reporting, build management depth, and document what makes your business work — so buyers see what they’re getting.
Transaction Advisory
When the time comes, we sit beside you — reviewing offers, interpreting terms, and ensuring you don’t get outmanoeuvred by experienced acquirers and their advisors.
