FRP launches new Financial Advisory pillar
Following the launch of this Financial Advisory pillar, the firm said it plans to build out its financial due diligence offerings across both buy-side and sell-side transactions
FRP has announced the launch of a new Financial Advisory pillar following increased client demand.
The firm said the move brings together its existing transaction related services including financial due diligence, independent business reviews, financial modelling, and valuation services, alongside our pensions and company-side advisory services.
It will also bring together more than 20 of its specialist advisers, including Simon Longfield, Jim Davies, Gerald Smith, Gemma Jones, Jo Price, Justin Matthews, Richard Sanfourche and Matt Whitchurch, to support boards, lenders and investors on mid-market transactions and advisory assignments.
FRP already advises clients on matters such as pre-lending and independent business reviews, and provides financial modelling services, contentious and non-contentious valuations and pensions employer covenant reviews.
Following the launch of this Financial Advisory pillar, the firm said it plans to build out its financial due diligence offerings across both buy-side and sell-side transactions, as well as board advisory services, including profit improvement and project appraisals.
According to FRP, the development of a dedicated transaction services team within the Financial Advisory pillar will complement its existing Corporate Finance and Debt Advisory business in terms of financial due diligence, financial modelling and vendor assist work.
Going forward, it will plan to make strategic hires into the Financial Advisory team to further build its capabilities and enhance the services in key markets, such as private equity.
Justin Matthews, Financial Advisory director at FRP, said: “We are seeing demand from clients across the mid-market for specialist support in both buy-side and sell-side transactions.
“With an experienced UK-wide team and a track record of advising on transactions that involve financial institutions, private equity investors and private clients we are well-placed to meet that demand. I’m looking forward to working in partnership with colleagues across FRP to extend and deepen the services we can provide to clients.”
Jeremy French, chief operating officer at FRP, added: “It’s our goal to adapt and evolve the services we provide to ensure we are able to support all of our clients at every point of their journey, and the enhancement of our Financial Advisory offering is a direct response to increased demand for transaction services.
“It marks the next step of our evolution as a leading national specialist business advisory firm, and by bringing together a team of specialists to focus solely on financial advisory work we are well placed to meet that need both now and in the future.”
