We understand that the journey to public markets is both exhilarating and daunting. While strong financials and robust reporting are fundamental, effective IPO readiness is about more than numbers alone. It demands foresight, adaptability, and a strategic mindset — qualities we embed in every engagement.

Many fast-growth businesses face similar challenges on the road to IPO:

• Premature or ineffective accounting records and financial reporting processes
• Lack of experience with public company governance and compliance requirements
• Difficulty communicating with reporting accountants and other advisors
• Limited access to the specialist professionals needed for a successful listing

Our role is to help you overcome these obstacles with confidence. We act as your guide, advocate, and facilitator, making sure your leadership team understands the process and is fully prepared to meet the demands of public company life.

Our services include, but not limited to:

IPO Readiness Assessment: A comprehensive diagnostic of your company’s current situation, identifying gaps in financial controls, reporting, governance, and strategic planning.

Strategic Advisory: Guidance on structuring your business for public market expectations, including board composition, governance frameworks, and performance metrics aligned with investor expectations.

Financial Reporting Transformation: Assistance on improving your financial reporting capabilities to ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance.

Key financial documents: Preparation of financial and working capital model; and work with and advise the board on their financial position & prospects procedures (FPPP) memo. 

Project Management and Timetable Design: Detailed planning and hands-on support to keep your IPO on track, manage deadlines, and coordinate seamlessly with all stakeholders.
