The difference between accountants and corporate finance advisors
Who cares whether there is a difference between accountants and corporate finance advisors? Don’t they do the same job?

A corporate finance advisor does this for your wealth and your business:

Who do you think will maximise your wealth, increases your business valuation and prevent unnecessary shareholding dilution?
Who would you prefer to have on your team to negotiate the optimal deal terms?

Whilst you make a solid point, there are also accountants and accountants – too often the same brush is applied to all. At Maitland Partners we are proud to be a member of the Proactive Accountants Network or PAN. We actively look forward to assist our clients in 8 key areas. Yes accounting by its nature will always have a historical component. It is what you do with that information and then add to in terms of projections, cashflow management, what if analysis etc that sets us (good accountants) apart.
