Our USP

Having worked with under-performing companies we understand the dynamics of business failure and how best to respond to a financial crisis or impending difficulty. We have worked with lenders and investors in situations of under-performance where a business is significantly off-plan and consequently understand the approach needed by a company to maintain stakeholder support.

We are aware that many companies do not have the skills that are necessary to respond to under-performance and to plan a turnaround. We recognise that many organisations have been unable to access the leading best practice methodologies that they need and have been unable to afford the fees demanded by much bigger firms. Similarly our experience of interim accountants is that few have the focus and experience necessary to effectively assist an under-performing company.

Although most of our work is in connection with under-performing companies and we consider ourselves to be turnaround specialists, our skills have broader application especially in an uncertain economic climate. Specifically our first hand understanding of what drives failure means that we are well-qualified to provide hands-on and advisory solutions to manage risk and safeguard value. Accordingly we also work with many ‘healthier’ companies and provide bespoke due diligence review services for lenders and investors.

In each situation we ask the right questions to improve the financial clarity, control and planning in a business and we have a practical approach with the objective of delivering clear opinions, recommendations and improvements.

There are a number of key advantages to be derived from working with us

• We offer considerable hands-on experience derived from a large number of assignments of different size and complexity across a broad range of industry sectors.
• Our Big Four training and background allows us to deliver best practice solutions with corresponding standards of delivery.
• We can provide considerable cost advantages and the fact that we are used to working to tight deadlines means that we are time efficient.
• We do not have a conflict of interest to sell other services or seek insolvency appointments.
• We provide a flexible and responsive service
• Unlike larger firms we do not rely upon more junior staff to undertake fieldwork.
• We have a defined approach to quality control with peer review of all reports and recommendations.
• Last but not least we have pride in our work – it is our reputations that are at stake and we are only as good as our last project.

This blend of skills, as well as our approach, is relatively unique and accordingly we have developed a good name for our niche, quality service.

Although based in the north of England we undertake assignments across the UK and western Europe. We work closely with a selected number of Big Four trained accountants across the country who have a similar background to ourselves. This enhances our resource offering and means that we have greater capability to respond to more complex or time critical situations where necessary.

Vincere Partners LLP does not seek equity participation or insolvency appointments.
