Our Services

Apart from the traditional year end accounting designed to meet the taxation requirements of an entity, we also undertake:

• ongoing management accounting
  
• cash flow forecasting and budgeting
  
• pro forma financial statements for special purposes including bank funding

We aim to make our non-statutory financial reporting as simple and user friendly as possible so that the owners can take-away what key pieces of information they need to run their businesses. We aim to implement a “dash board” approach which is a quick and easy way to see key trends such as sales growth, gross margin, working capital and other relevant drivers to a business.

In addition to preparing special purpose financial statements, we are experienced in the preparation of complex large companies, unlisted and listed public companies’ financial statements.

At VFA, we pride ourselves on financial statements that are supporting by in-depth working papers that are easy to follow.

We offer a wide range of consulting services including:

• merger and acquisition
• divestments
• debt and capital
• shareholder agreements and shareholder matters
• business restructures
• analysis of business performance
  mentoring to IPO
• advice on joint ventures and farm-in
• arrangements
• general advice on listing matters
• assistance with the direction of the business, including product and service offerings
• review of key value drivers
• mentoring
• path to listing

We work with our clients to develop and understanding of the business, its position in the market and other factors which will lead to the long-term success of the business.

We also provide CFO services to those medium sized businesses who require assistance for their finance team. Our role can vary depending upon the requirements of a client, but typically, it involves working with a client on premises, including mentoring of the client.

We also provide outsourced CFO services to small listed companies. Currently, we act for two listed companies in this sector.

Corporate compliance is often an area which is neglected, but in critical moments, having such documents is vital. Our offering includes:

• minutes for all types of matters, particularly those which are critical to a business
• ASIC lodgements
• listed company secretarial matters

VFA offers a range of statutory audit services for entities ranging from small businesses, through to public companies, overseas subsidiaries and associations.
