Pricing

To get set up
- The transaction or issue, with contracts and supporting documents
- Current accounting policies and latest AFS
- Any correspondence with auditors or regulators on the matter
- Your reporting framework and year-end date
On an ongoing basis
- Notice of new or unusual transactions before year-end
- Draft AFS for review ahead of sign-off
- Updates to estimates and assumptions annually
Pro tip: Bring us in before the transaction is signed, not after year-end, structuring choices often change the accounting outcome.

Technical Accounting in depth
Who it's for
- Companies with revenue, lease or financial-instrument complexity
- Public entities and municipalities reporting under GRAP
- Groups facing auditor challenges on accounting treatment
- Businesses undergoing restructuring, M&A or funding
- Finance teams without in-house technical capacity
- Boards needing an independent view before sign-off
Why it matters
- Wrong treatment means restatements and qualified opinions
- Auditors accept documented positions far more readily
- Estimates drive profit, they deserve rigour
- The right framework avoids over- or under-disclosure
- Technical issues resolved early don't derail year-end
- An independent review adds credibility with funders and boards
