What we offer

Strategic second opinion

Internal discussion and brainstorming with head office have natural limits when it comes to genuinely objective input. When a CEO or CFO wants an outside specialist’s view, we provide it as an accountant who knows the industry from the inside.

Support with budget and management presentations

We have prepared and delivered budget-meeting presentation materials for a luxury brand company.

Accounting and finance issues specific to the industry

English-language reporting to head office, IFRS compliance and the other finance questions particular to luxury businesses.

Selected engagements
