Capital markets, IPO readiness and Reporting accountant services

Raising finance through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a highly regulated and demanding process.

If a company is considering going public, there are strict auditing, due diligence and reporting requirements that must be met. Navigating these regulations can be challenging, which is why having the right specialist guidance is essential.

Our corporate finance specialists have knowledge and experience of working with listed companies, and those looking to list, on the LSE, AIM and Aquis markets. Through our network we can facilitate introductions to brokers, lawyers and Sponsors, NOMADS or Corporate Advisers to form the team that will guide you through the listing process.
