I am a highly experienced financial guy - financial analysis, due diligence, restructuring, diagnostic studies (financial health check), business planning, IPOs and mergers & acquisitions. I also offer "general" management advice to start ups and existing businesses.I have a diverse background of working across many cultures with clients ranging from the largest multi-nationals to one-man businesses and everything in between.During my career with E & Y I was exposed to almost every industry type so have a vast amount of knowledge as to what "makes business tick".Specialties: Financial Analysis for banking applications, due diligence, acquisitions (buy and sell sides). My output is a detailed written report (no jargon) that explains issues from the owner/manager perspective. My reports are usually accompanied by graphical analysis of the results which are more easily understandable by non-financial people.I also offer a fantastic two-day course "Fundamentals of Finance" which teaches finance to people with little or no prior knowledge.
