How We Work

We work with businesses at different stages of their journey, from start-ups and owner-managed businesses to growing and established companies. Our support can range from getting the accounting, tax and compliance foundations right through to management reporting, Fractional CFO support, fundraising, transactions and business improvement.

The level of support is tailored to the needs and complexity of each business rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Yes. Our services are designed to evolve with your business. You may initially need support with accounting, tax and compliance, but as the business grows we can also help with cash flow and forecasting, management information, financial controls, strategic finance and Fractional CFO support.

Where growth involves raising finance, acquiring another business, restructuring or preparing for an eventual sale, our corporate finance and advisory team can support you through those stages as well.

A Fractional CFO gives you access to experienced senior finance support without the cost or commitment of employing a full-time CFO.

It can be particularly valuable when a business is growing, needs better financial information and forecasting, is experiencing cash flow or profitability challenges, is preparing to raise finance, or simply needs more strategic financial input than its existing accounting function provides.

We tailor the role around what your business actually needs, whether that is regular ongoing support or additional expertise during a particular period of change.

Yes. Our Corporate Finance & M&A services support businesses through important transactions and funding decisions, including business planning and financial modelling, valuations, fundraising, acquisitions, due diligence and business sales.

We can work with you from the early planning stage through to the transaction itself, helping you understand the financial implications, prepare properly and make informed decisions throughout the process.

Yes. You do not necessarily need to replace your existing accountant or finance team to work with us.

We can provide additional expertise where it is needed, such as Fractional CFO support, management reporting, cash flow and forecasting, financial controls, corporate finance, transaction support or business improvement. We can also work alongside an existing finance function during periods of growth or change.

The scope is agreed around the gaps you need us to fill.

Yes. Alongside our services for businesses, Navion provides specialist Audit Quality & Technical Advisory support to accounting and audit firms.

Our support covers areas including systems of quality management (ISQM), audit file reviews, audit methodology and programmes, root cause analysis, monitoring and remediation, technical consultations, regulatory inspection support and training.

We work with firms to provide an independent perspective and practical support, with the aim of strengthening audit quality and helping turn technical and regulatory requirements into workable solutions.

Start by getting in touch and telling us a little about your business and what you need help with. We will arrange an initial conversation to understand your current position, priorities and the type of support you are looking for.

From there, we can recommend an appropriate scope of work and explain how we would work with you. Whether you need ongoing accounting support, help with a specific issue or specialist advice for an important business decision, the starting point is simply a conversation.
