Our Work Is
SIMPLEPOWERFULCREATIVEFOUNDEDEFFECTIVE
WE ELABORATE NEW IDEAS, WE ARRANGE THEM AND THEN WE BRING THEM TO LIFE.
01. LISTEN
Client
The client should be thoroughly listened to. He is not always completely aware of where the real problem hides. Or, sometimes, he is not in a position to disclose it fully even to you. It’s my job to sense it.
Situation
The situation around the problem is what drives you into possibility. Products, technologies, shareholders, managers, clients, suppliers, banks, figures, money, constraints and opportunities are boundaries with doors that must be found and can be opened to find solutions.
Backthoughts
Every actor in the playground has thoughts and hidden back thoughts, but the latter are difficult to imagine, if you lack sensibility, psychology and humanity. We use those qualities as our compass.
Figures
The chemistry of finance is to bridge imperfection coming from humanity and the square world of figures. No transaction will ever be possible and effective if figures do not work.
Objectives
Objectives in a financial transaction are not all visible. They are like a multilayer cake. At first sight you see only the top layer, but once you eat it, all other layers and their flavors and tastes come to life.
Expectations
Finance means transforming what is possible into what is real. During this journey, expectations adjust themselves and attitude or mood to a solution or another can change. An advisor is like a helmsman in this process.
02. THINK
Industry
Every problem and every solution must fit the industry the client works in. Not all industries are the same. Our deep knowledge and experience of different industries, of their dynamics and evolution, allow us to tailor cut the right solution to your problem, with the right perspective in the current landscape.
Process
Corporate finance builds much of its value in the process. A good company sold with the wrong process can resolve into a lower value than the other way around. We deeply discuss in advance with the client what, how, when and why a process is better than another to achieve a goal.
Solutions
Creativity is part of the solving process. New, innovative solutions can and must always be found. No trivial or mainstream thinking you will find from us. We face new solutions and do not necessarily walk down the old streets.
Counterparts
Do you really think our work can be done without working on network? We invest decades of our lives into knowing investors, banks, competitors, funds, and all kind of counterparts – and their ideas – your company will, one day or another, need. Just to serve to you the right one at the right moment.
Value
We know how slippery is the concept of value, but we identify, measure, enhance and create it for you in time, and at the right moment.
Legal and fiscal
There is no transaction without legal frame. Our people know from inside regulations, laws, rules and risks associated thereto. No transaction without tax, no optimization without deep study of fiscal implications. You will find us ready to know and advice the right structure so as to minimize fiscal burden. Value comes from many sources, and this is a key one.
03. REALIZE
Ideas
Only once we truly know and understand how your business works, will we be able to deliver the right creative solutions that achieve the end goal. In the end, our ideas only matter if they help solve your issue or problem.
Time
Time is all in our work. An idea may be wrong or right when done at two different moments. Every idea must show a clear path and timing to end goal. Time is risk, and we make you really aware of what these risks imply.
Consistency
Like an artwork, all financial transactions must reveal an overall consistency in all its parts. Every aspect, every apparent or hidden side of the story must be analyzed, weighted and assessed.
Change
The world has changed many rules and paradigms, and no solution proofs to be effective if it does not comply today and tomorrow rules. Our constant update to governing business rules in different countries is what let us work with the same effectiveness in different countries.
Deliver
We do not delegate others to touch the core of a business agreement we have designed. That is why you will see us write contracts, attachments, figures, analysis and terms as we were lawyers, what we are not. And only in the end we have these material piece of a transaction validated by specialist.
Style
Our mandatory style to all is confidence, trust, loyalty, reliance, confidentiality and credit. These are our north stars to guide us.
