WHAT WE
OFFER

THIS LIST IS BY NO MEANS
EXHAUSTIVE, AND OUR TEAM IS
MORE THEN HAPPY TO DISCUSS
ANY REQUIREMENT YOU MAY HAVE

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING

Business moves fast. Moving with it requires advice you can trust around financing, acquisitions and mergers, insolvency, selling and even the right accounting software. Whatever the scenario, at Walsh & Associates we have the experience and expertise to remove the stress and maximize the opportunity for your business.

Financing

Today’s finance markets are often complex and varied. We don’t need every product on the market but we know enough to recommend the best option for you whether it be term funding or a bank loan. Our experience means that we can structure debt while also maximising any tax advantages that may come.

Software Solutions

For small to medium / largish organisations, we are strongly recommending Xero accounting software. The main attributes of Xero from a user’s perspective are:

  • It’s in the Cloud, doesn’t sit on a local hard drive.

  • No concerns about us having the same version as you.

  • There is only one general ledger, not multiple ones.

  • You always work the most recent release of software.

  • There is no backing up of software.

Choosing the right kind of software for you can be difficult and we have invested considerable resources into training our staff so they can provide adequate support and provide you with the best accounting software available.

ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS

There are several scenarios where you may wish to obtain a business. Whatever the scenario, we can remove the stress from the process and maximise opportunity for you. Whether you are looking at buying a business or merging with another, we have the experience and expertise required to make it seamless. We may well question your judgement as to whether it is the best deal for you as a shareholder, or can you afford it, or even whether other growth opportunities exist or need further investigation.

The services we provide incorporate every stage of the process – from identifying potential acquisitions and negotiating the commercial elements of the transaction to forecasting the future of the business. Our services will look at:

  • A review of your goals and objectives.

  • Due diligence services.

  • Preparation of financial forecasts.

  • Advice on potential pitfalls and rewards involved in a merger.

  • Assistance with the purchase negotiations.

  • Advice on financing.

  • Assistance with a preparation of a business plan.

Drawing on the skills of our business professionals reduces your chances of purchasing an unsuitable business. Let Walsh & Associates show you how our experience can save you stress and provide you with the satisfaction that a good business merger can achieve.

Insolvency

This is often a word that is used loosely but has far reaching consequences for owners of companies. The key to avoid this, is seeking professional help once the signs become apparent. Timely advice can save your business from liquidation or a receivership.

Sometimes the words receivership or liquidation are not that well understood. A receiver may be appointed by a bank for example under a general security given by the business owner to raise funds to clear the banks debt. A liquidator disposes of the Company assets, repays the creditors and the company ceases to exist. We have the experience and are here to assist parties that may find themselves in these situations.

Selling a Business

Everybody thinks their business is worth more than what a buyer is prepared to pay. At Walsh & Associates, we can sit down with business owners and give a range of pricing over a number of models. From this we can prepare a draft memorandum of sale, which the seller can take to the market and be confident in his asking price.

THE
HARDEST
PART OF
MOVING
FORWARD IS
NOT
LOOKING
BACK


As a long time resident and businessman in Waipukurau, I think the down to earth and practical approach by Vaughan Walsh is welcomed by many of the local business owners. My business has greatly benefited from their no nonsense approach and sound advice.
