Advisory
At MFW we aren’t all about compliance services. Whilst compliance is important, and keeping our clients compliant with financial and taxation regulations is at the core of what we do, advisory services are why we do what we do.
Our partners and staff are always looking to make a difference to your business and to help you to reach your business and personal goals. With that philosophy in mind, many of our compliance services naturally link into advisory services in some way. Whether that be assisting you in determining what legal structure is best for your business, advising on the best strategy for extracting profits in your particular circumstances or helping you to mitigate current or future tax leakage.
As well as offering these compliance-linked advisory services throughout your relationship with us, there are more significant and one-off advisory services that we can provide which make a real difference to our clients. Clients who are new in business often need a lot of initial support that our partners and staff can deliver, whilst even those individuals who are very experienced in running a business and managing their financial affairs need advice when encountering new situations such as acquiring another business or selling their own business.
We have been advising clients on their affairs since 1936, therefore, no matter what your need, our team can offer you advice and support tailored around you. We offer advice on business start-ups, acquisitions & disposals, corporate finance, and many other specialist areas. We also offer external finance department services, should your business need the extra support of having an experienced adviser on hand.
We can work with your existing legal advisors and independent financial advisors to provide joined up thinking on any plans you may have. As we work with many advisors across these areas, we can provide you with a selection of advisors for you to initiate contact with, should you require it.

Business start-ups
Starting up in business can be daunting and getting things right from the outset can save you a lot of time and money. At MFW we have helped businesses of all sorts, for many years, get off on the right foot, advising and acting as a sounding-board. This starts with selecting the right legal structure for your business, so it’s never too early to get us on board.

Acquisitions and disposals
If you are looking to acquire a business or dispose of a business, then we can work alongside your legal advisors to support you throughout that process. We regularly assist our clients in these matters, but we are also able to offer these advisory services as one-off engagements where your existing accountant may not have the necessary expertise to feel comfortable supporting you through the transaction.

Specialist advisory services
Our accounting and finance specialists are on hand to assist you whenever you need it. Over the course of your business operations there are many times when you may just need that extra bit of assistance to make the most of your business and the funds it can provide you with. Whether you require business plans, budgets or financial forecasts to support lending applications, grant application support, due diligence services, share valuations, considerations on pension contribution tapering or any other specialist advisory services, our partners and staff can help you to navigate any challenges you might face.

External finance department
Are you struggling to recruit suitable finance staff? Perhaps you are in a growth phase of your business and need some extra support but can’t currently justify a fixed internal cost. Whatever your situation, our experienced professionals at MFW can provide outsourced finance department support. With finance staff at all levels across the firm we can tailor the service to your exact needs, whether it be a temporary solution or a more permanent arrangement. The best thing about this is that our service can immediately adapt as your business needs change, whether that be additional resource required, or handing over to newly recruited internal finance staff.
