Financial management

As part of financing a company, thanks to your customisable financial management offer, we can, for example, on an ad hoc mandate, provide you with a part-time financial director, assisted by a financial controller. These SME specialists fit in with your organisation and collaborate directly with the teams in place and with your fiduciary company.

Our commitment will have an impact on your company’s accounting and finance. This is particularly effective for fledgling companies that are aiming to boost their shareholders’ equity or obtain other sources of financing. We know that these companies need funds to develop and ensure their development. Choosing the type of financing is important in that it can impact your freedom of decision-making. It is about measuring whether shareholders can contribute additional funds or if risk capital funds should be brought in.

We provide tools that measure the progress made between the start and end of the mission. It is about knowing the real impact that a mission has had on the company’s results and detecting the key factors of success.

Mergers and acquisitions

Whether it is a merger, an acquisition or a transfer, a complete financial assessment must be prepared. The value of the company in question must also be assessed.

Your MDS Solutions advisor must have human qualities to guide and reassure you. They must also have managerial qualities as well as the expertise that advise you to avoid several pitfalls and save time.

These highly emotional operations are rare and occasional in the life of an entrepreneur. It is a matter for the specialists, who will propose options and guide you so that the steps are followed in the right order, thereby avoiding tax problems.

The keys to success :

Liquidation in two phases

The company is first dissolved. The liquidation generally takes place over a one-year period. MDS Solutions can act as the liquidator instead of the administrators, who may resign during an extraordinary general meeting. MDS Solutions undertakes to liquidate the assets and pay debtors.

Once the tax authorities grant approval, the liquidator can distribute the liquidation surplus among shareholders. It can then ask that the company be struck off from the companies register, which is the second phase.

We support you throughout the process with the following
services :

Non-accounting audit

Comparison with competing companies

Complete due diligence or audit acquisition process

Search for financial partners

Assessment of non-financial elements

What does the financial and company strategy consist of?

All companies need an adapted strategy. Our business strategy advice is based on the current and acceptable levels of risk, according to criteria from the internal control system (ICS), on the one hand, and the expected levels of profitability and financial performance, on the other.

The day-to-day management of a structure along with all the red flags sometimes cause us to forget the basics. The financial balance such as the ratio between own funds/foreign funds, cash flow generated, margin rate, turnover at break-even point, the return on investment for each project, productivity level, etc.

Once again, it is about being proactive. By implementing a company strategy, the executive management avoids being in financial difficulty, which implies it must enforce a long and costly recovery plan.

Our offer also proposes help with decision-making during major strategic investments.

Organisation and support

We help you create your company and make it evolve. In this context, we offer the following services.

Our commitment for all sectors of activity

Implementation of tools and systems
Profitability analysis and calculation of performance indicators
Implementation of an internal control system (ICS)

Business plans are essential tools that oblige us to ask all the strategic questions even before the start of an activity. They act as a road map that we refer to along the way. Management will prepare its financial strategy based on this document and make choices that will have far-reaching impact in future years such as the long-term financing solutions vs chequing account, leasing vs acquisition, or working capital requirement. It is a real strategic approach.

Companies that reach a certain critical size must implement an ICS. The auditing body must certify its existence.

Before this obligation, some companies are tempted to embark on this adventure with their own internal staff, who already have sufficiently enough day-to-day tasks on their hands. Implementing these risk measurement tools is very time-consuming. It is observed that almost all of these cases do not end well.

It is, therefore, a question of separating missions with day-to-day operational tasks. The observed advantage is accomplishment, on the one hand and saving time by keeping staff morale intact, on the other.

Our corporate strategy consultant represents an additional resource at a limited cost.

Definition of corporate finance

Corporate finance or financial management is the field of finance pertaining to a company’s financial decisions. Its chief aim is to analyse and to “maximise the company’s intended value for its shareholders over a long period”.

More precisely, the challenge consists in optimising the value of the sequence of future monetary profits (relative to a scope of reference) under the constraints of limiting the risks involved. Along with public and private finance, it is one of the three major fields of finance. Its practice has historically been closely associated with resorting to financing from banks and increasingly with market financing.

The practice of corporate finance, therefore, encompasses a vision that is external to the company—those of lenders, investors or intermediaries such as investment banks—as well as one internal to it—that of managers whose internal management decisions determine its financial value.

The problems dealt with in corporate finance are :

In addition to ordinary management, which requires huge resources, you must also consider the succession or restructuring of your company or group to cope with changes that we must all face. It means not suffering but being proactive.

To understand corporate finance, it is important to realise that these particular operations take time and they cannot be envisaged in the twinkling of an eye. Time is not only dictated by you but also by other parties to the game (tax authorities, the potential buyer, financial establishments, for example). Acting in a planned manner is the only way to save time.

Our financial consulting firm is here to ensure your success.
