How do we work?

To determine the value of a business, we have to analyse it from the perspective of a business owner.

Throughout the valuation process, our clients will be consistently dealing with the same team members whilst the entire process will be overseen by a Mazars Partner to ensure quality control measures are met throughout the engagement. The partner assigned to your engagement provides a “hands on approach” to each engagement.

Ongoing open communication with your company and management is core to our service and our commitment to keeping you fully informed at all stages of the engagement.

We believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to valuation. The first step in our valuation process is always to obtain a deep understanding of the business together with its growth potential and challenges. This understanding of the business is the foundation upon which the financial models and valuation methodologies are built.
