About Thinkerz
An SME-focused advisory firm
Advisor Toolkit is a specialist service provided by Thinkerz Consulting. It exists because accountants and advisers regularly meet transaction questions that fall outside normal practice work.
Thinkerz works with owner-managed businesses and the advisers around them. Much of that work involves the point at which a business changes hands: preparing for it, valuing it, presenting it, and getting it to completion without losing value in the mechanics.
The experience behind the service is commercial rather than theoretical. We have owned and run businesses, bought businesses, and sat through the questions that buyers and their advisers ask. That shapes how the analysis is framed, and which issues are treated as material.
Advisor Toolkit applies that experience in a deliberately narrow way. We are not a full-service corporate-finance house and we are not trying to become the client’s adviser. We provide the specialist analysis an accountant or adviser can bring in when a matter needs it.

Practical, not theoretical
Analysis is prepared in the form a buyer or adviser will actually use, with the workings visible and the assumptions stated.
Subordinate by design
Advisor Toolkit is a service of Thinkerz Consulting. It is not a separate consultancy, and it is not positioned as one.
Clear about limits
We do not provide legal, tax, audit or regulated investment advice, and we will say so when a question sits with another professional.
