Corporate management

"Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things" (Peter F. Drucker, American management guru)

Legal and economic analysis of the company’s financial situation

Before being able to make strategic decisions, entrepreneurs often need specific advice, be it in relation to restructuring, an investment project or setting up a system of internal control.

Corpora Finance’s team of experts draws on its expertise in a range of areas, i.e. legal, taxation and accounting, as well as its extensive knowledge of international trade and tax affairs. As in chess, you can only make the right financial management decision by analysing a problem in the light of certain key figures:

  • Analysis of the annual accounts (strengths/weaknesses, ratios, creditworthiness)
  • Analysis of the working capital requirement (tailored to the future strategy)
  • Valuation of the company
  • Noting of financial or fiscal weaknesses
  • Cost calculations and savings: what is the real cost of a product or service?
  • Investment analysis (financial, fiscal, corporate, international)
