Business Advisory

At RSM Farrell Grant Sparks, we provide independent advice and straight talk, to challenge you and help your business grow. Our business advisers explain things in a way that’s easy to understand, and can help with issues such as:

• Management manage and improve your business – even during tough times
• Dealing with your bank
• How to get grants and other funding
• Potential problems that need to be highlighted now, not later when it could be too late
• Planning for the future

Our clients range from indigenous family businesses to owner manager companies and multinational corporations, as well as public interest organisations such as charities.

We work for businesses operating in Ireland as well as those wanting to develop in overseas markets.

Our team also has extensive practical experience with start-up businesses in a range of sectors. We can assist in initial structuring and development phases, offering independent advice on the development and expansion options for your business to reach its full potential.

Our approach

We recognise that clients need trusted advisers who understand the rapidly changing business and financial environment in which they operate. That’s why we are:

• Partner-led – our team brings a wealth of business experience and technical expertise and together with other senior team members, our partners are accessible to our clients, not just at a particular time of the year.
• Commercially focused – our approach is based on understanding your business and helping you to solve issues when they arise.
• Professional – we develop excellent working relationships with our clients and pride ourselves on timely delivery of service

Besides providing support and advisory services, our senior team and partners will endeavour to proactively identify potential problems, efficiency improvements and opportunities to add real value to your business. We can focus on the areas of your business most affected by the current economic downturn:

• Working capital/cashflow management
• Debt/bank management
• Financial management
• Risk management

We will perform the following steps:

• Understand your business model, its operations and markets.
• Review of latest management accounts and trends.
• Assess your company’s current financial position and banking relationships.
• Review trading and cashflow projections

Then we present you with a review including:

• Commercially realistic appraisals
• A clear and concise executive summary with opinions and practical recommendations
• Practical and commercial applications of our findings

That means that you can expect us to offer not just a series of individual services, but a full range of financial advisory services to meet your personal, corporate and organisation requirements.
