This is where the magic really starts.

The FACE methodology

01/

Fund

There are four main ways a business can get more money: 1) increase sales; 2) grant funding; 3) borrow money; and 4) attract investors who buy a stake in the company. We focus on items 3 and 4, as these are the ways to raise significant sums of money in a reasonably fast way to finance growth.

02/

Acquire

Once you have raised funds it’s time to start spending them. For many entrepreneurs who are used to bootstrapping, this phase may seem unusual or even uncomfortable, but the reality is that you have raised money to acquire something, whether that’s assets or a new team of people or another business. So let’s do it.

03/

Consolidate

This is where the hard work begins. It is also the area that decides whether the acquisition is a successful one or not. This is where you put two companies together, and at least one of them is going to face a significant change in values and culture. The important thing is to have a detailed plan for putting the businesses together. The reality is that it won’t go exactly as you plan it, but without a plan you’re at the mercy of circumstances.

04/

Exit

In many respects the Exit phase is the same as the Acquire phase, except that you are sitting on the other side of the transaction. The mantra here is prepare, prepare, prepare. Prepare your business so you can maximise your exit valuation. Prepare your business so the due diligence process goes smoothly. Prepare yourself for the emotional rollercoaster of selling your business.

What others say about us

“David is the perfect person to take you on this journey. Beyond his deep experience, he is the type of business leader you’d want to have on your team. In the movies, people who do lots of big deals are a bit crass, a bit brash and a bit loose with the truth. David is the opposite of those things – he’s genuine, he’s thoughtful and he’s honest.”

Daniel Priestley, Co-Founder and CEO, Dent Global Limited

Insourced Finance Team

Every business is different and unique, and yet in so many ways, every business is also the same. They find and win customers. They deliver their product or service to customers. They invoice customers and collect money. They pay staff and suppliers. Hopefully at the end there is money left to reinvest in the business and pay the owners.

We have worked with many entrepreneurs in different industries in dozens of countries around the world. Most of them are really good at finding and winning customers, and at delivering their product or service to customers.

Many of them suck at the finance side of things. They don’t understand the numbers. They don’t want to chase customers who haven’t paid. Their bookkeeper doesn’t add any value. Their external accountant is a box-ticker who is only interested in compliance. Does this sound familiar to you?

We solve this problem so you can sleep at night without worrying about finance. We are finance people who work exclusively with entrepreneurs. We love and understand entrepreneurial teams, and we focus on you as people. With Add then Multiply at your side, you have a trusted business partner with trained bookkeepers, business analysts and fully qualified accountants. Together, we will develop a plan that works for you and your business.

What others say about us

“Working on the other side of the table to David on this acquisition was a positive and seamless experience. David’s long-standing relationship with the target company and his deep understanding of their business ensured that every discussion was informed and grounded in real insights. David’s approach was both pragmatic and fair, striking the right balance between commercial interests and shared goals, which played a huge part in driving the transaction to a successful close. His commitment and availability throughout the process made him an invaluable partner, and I look forward to working with him again.”

Tim Carey, M&A Manager, RSK

He has a unique combination of finance skills and real understanding of people, something I’ve not seen in any other finance person I’ve met.” Martin Porter, Co-Founder, The Centre International Limited
