Strategic FD Services for Law Firms

Your Law Firm’s CFO

Like any good FD/CFO my start point is data-driven internal budgeting, forecasting, and result monitoring, then using that to partner with the board and to drive business performance.

I can help you create dashboards, key performance indicators and budgets. But I also provide a human to talk those figures through and to help turn them into actual action.

CFOs aren’t run-of-the-mill Finance Directors; they are experienced in truly transformational financed projects. Things that you need to get right and that will drive the firm forward – but often things you might only do once in your firm’s life cycle!

With increasing consolidation in the legal sector and with many firms finding they have recruitment difficulties (especially at partner level) more firms are turning to mergers and acquisitions to create growth. I can act on “buy-side” or on “sell side” to analyse value, to negotiate deal structure and to perform financial due diligence.

As I discuss here one of the most common strategic finance projects I get involved in for law firms is in Mergers and Acquisitions. This means I have become expert at understanding how to value a law firm and what makes one firm more or less profitable than the other. As a by-product of that I am often asked to value law firms not for M&A reasons.
