VALUE MAXIMISATION ANALYSIS

Improving goodwill value

A Value Maximisation Analysis is prepared for a firm interested in improving their goodwill value rather than actual value of the firm at a specific point in time.

The analysis is ideal for a firm that is considering the introduction or departure of equity holders in 3 - 5 years time and would like to implement strategies to improve its likely goodwill value at the time of that transaction.

As part of the analysis, the engaging firm completes and returns a template / questionnaire which is then reviewed and analysed by representatives of Rob Knights & Co.

A written report is then prepared incorporating commentary that will highlight the current strengths of the firm as well as areas of opportunity and improvement that will benefit the firm's likely value.

Areas of review include:

location
nature of practice
operating hours
firm history
partners and staff
performance
specialisations
client concentration and fee dependence
associations
past, current and future influences
IT

An estimation of value is offered accompanied by both primary and secondary practice improvement strategies and recommendations to achieve improved outcomes.

The costs of a value maximisation analysis is $2,500 - $3,000 + GST.

It must be noted however, that the analysis and the subsequent written report, do not represent a formal valuation, and any reference to value is purely a preliminary estimation and only relevant in the circumstances of the engagement.
