The Partnership Proposition

An IPO or M&A deal is a transformational process and you may need additional support on specific aspects over and above the support I and your core advisers can give. 

I have contacts from a wide range of specialisms who I can introduce you to to meet your needs, for example investor and public relations, company secretarial, financial modelling, tax structuring, specialist accounting, non-financial reporting, corporate social responsibility, and transcript providers for Analyst presentations

My contacts range from large firms to individuals.

Anyone I introduce you to I, or someone I trust, will have worked with them in the past.

Johanna’s contribution to the process was absolutely invaluable. She knows the nuts and bolts of how the process works, can see round corners, coordinate the advisers, and play ‘whack-a-mole’ whilst you are focused on investor meetings.

Andy MacKinnon, CFO, Rentokil

Johanna hit the ground running and quickly settled in as part of the team.  With her sound advice, extensive experience and strong work ethic she was instrumental to the success of the transaction and our ability to meet the challenging deadlines.  Her input was invaluable and I wish we could keep her permanently!

Tim Beale, CEO, Keepmoat Homes

I’d like to thank you for your expertise, quiet professionalism, productivity and commitment. I’m confident we would not have got to this point, hitting our external deadlines, and delivering such high-quality content were it not for your possession and application of these characteristics. You’ve been a huge assistance to bridge the gap between our internal capability and the specialist knowledge and expertise of the full house of Big Four accountants as well as umpteen lawyers.

Stuart Ingall-Tombs, CFO, Rentokil
