Audit

How to choose the right Auditor?

We specialise in SME audits of companies, LLP’s, and charities.

Choosing the right auditor means working with auditors who you feel comfortable with, have a genuine understanding of your business, and can complement your team. A personal approach is amongst the key factors in making the right choice.

Auditors are giving their opinion on your financial statements, whether they are true and fair and not misleading. A ‘clean’ audit report is a clean health check on your business.

An audit may be required because the law says so, called a statutory audit, or maybe an investor or lender requires an audit.

We also have specialist teams that you can reach out to for advice in tax, VAT, strategic advisory, or assistance with fundraising.

Assurance and Advisory

Specialist Assurance

Many businesses and organisations are regulated by specific supervisory bodies, authorities or legislation. We have many clients in specialist sectors with compliance obligations to fulfil. Over the years, Meer & Co have built extensive experience with the rules and regulations which govern a wide range of business areas.

We have particular expertise in the following sectors:
1. FCA CAAS audits
2. Charities
3. Schools and Academies

Strategic Planning

We work alongside owners and management teams within businesses to jointly develop bespoke strategic plans or review the viability of existing plans and operations for the long-term future of your business.

Our role is to assist owners and management in mapping out and achieving their goals and ambitions in well-planned time frames.

Transaction Services

Acquisition Due Diligence

Expanding a business through acquisition can provide exciting business opportunities, but mitigating risk through due diligence is vital for the success of subsequent planned transactions. Meer & Co’s due diligence services identify risks and opportunities that can be managed effectively or exploited.

Our due diligence expertise and experience in owner-managed business transactions can help your business transition into what could otherwise be a risky stage of growth. Our ability to identify risks and opportunities in advance means you can maximise your business advantage throughout the acquisition process.

Financial Modelling

Financial modelling is vital to any business and particularly important during acquisitions. Appropriate integration of your new acquisition underpinned by a robust financial model can make a real difference to the future success of your expanding business.

Ours is a comprehensive financial modelling service, including banking support, working capital and cash-flow management advice.
