Companies listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange or AIM are required to prepare their accounts in accordance with IFRS. Discover how our team of experts can assist you with this process.

Accountancy

Companies are legally required to prepare financial statements and it’s crucial to ensure that they are fully compliant. See how we can support you in meeting these obligations.

Financial Reporting Valuations

We specialise in financial reporting valuations, ensuring precise assessments of debt and equity instruments. Our expertise spans various standards, including share option valuations under IFRS 2, utilising both Monte Carlo simulations and the Black-Scholes model, the valuation of derivatives under IFRS 9 and the valuation of intangible assets under IFRS 3.

Outsourcing

We understand that one size doesn’t fit all, which is why we offer flexible options, including a full retainer service and a time-spent basis package. These cover everything from management accounts and board packs to day-to-day transaction support.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what clients and advisors who’ve worked with our Financial Reporting & Transaction Advisory team have to say

”We have worked closely with One Advisory’s Financial Reporting team over the years, who provide invaluable technical support to listed companies. We routinely review workstreams prepared by One Advisory, including full IFRS accounts, RTO accounting, PPAs, impairment reviews and convertible loan note valuations. The team’s grasp of IFRS and the financial reporting framework is excellent and they are always available to discuss their reports in detail. We highly recommend any company seeking support in their annual accounts preparation or any areas of technical accounting to consider One Advisory.
Adam Humphreys, PartnerPKF Littlejohn

”As auditors, we greatly appreciate One Advisory’s deep expertise in IFRS reporting. Their understanding of complex technical aspects is impressive, and the memos they provide are both thorough and easy to understand, which significantly facilitates our ability to sign off on those areas. The One Advisory finance team is always available for discussions, making them an invaluable partner in ensuring accurate and compliant financial reporting – something clients consistently value. I’d have no hesitation in recommending One Advisory to any company needing assistance with their IFRS reporting requirements or any areas of technical accounting.
Haysmacintyre, PartnerHaysmacintyre

”One Advisory’s experience and technical expertise in delivering on an IPO engagement of companies looking to list on the main market or AIM is excellent. We worked closely with One Advisory on a main marketing listing and found One Advisory to take ownership of critical workstreams, which included the preparation of the historical financial information and the FPPP memo. We would recommend One Advisory to any company that is looking to IPO in the UK.
RSM, PartnerRSM

”The IPO process was new for most of our team and we were grateful for the work One Advisory did for us to enable us to prepare all of the documents that were required on a tight timeline. They are a team of experts in what they do and we have gained a lot of knowledge from working with them during this process. I would recommend any company seeking a listing in London to engage with ONE Advisory early on in the process.
Mark Williams, Former CEOOcean Harvest

”One Advisory played a pivotal role in facilitating the successful reverse takeover (RTO) of EDX and continues to assist us. They have subsequently prepared several Purchase Price Allocations (PPAs), valued our convertible loan notes and handled the subsequent accounting for conversions, as well as prepared our consolidated IFRS accounts. Their team has a thorough understanding of the nuances involved in PPAs, preparing detailed reports and valuations for the auditors and liaising directly with them to get sign off in those areas with minimal fuss or input required from us. I highly recommend One Advisory for any complex financial transactions or accounts preparation.
Dr Michael Hudson, CEOEDX Medical

”Golden Metal Resources engaged ONE Advisory’s Financial Reporting and Corporate Governance functions ahead of our IPO and found their professional, diligent and expert support to be very helpful as we went through the admission process. We are delighted to have retained their corporate governance and financial reporting services going forward and look forward to continuing our partnership.
David Ovadia MBE, ChairmanGolden Mental Resources

”One Advisory’s financial reporting and governance teams were extremely helpful and efficient throughout the process, particularly with our enhanced FPPP memo requirements for our reverse takeover of Insight. Their support and guidance was very responsive and professional and their interaction with our other advisers, especially with our nomad and reporting accountants, helped the process run smoothly. We would certainly recommend One Advisory to other companies seeking financial reporting or company secretarial support ahead of their IPO…
Matt Farnum-Schneider, Executive ChairmanInsig AI

”I was recommended to speak to One Advisory by our Nomad three and a half months before the AIM IPO date, as they said One Advisory will be able to deliver the complex workstreams within the tight timetable that had been set. I have to say that they absolutely delivered, hitting all of the milestones set with both professionalism and personality. CFOs are always forewarned ahead of an IPO of the significant workloads involved in the process, but I honestly cannot imagine it being possible without the assistance of One Advisory. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending their IFRS conversion and FPPP Services to other companies looking to IPO in London.
Neil Evans, CFOFacilities by ADF Plc

As a result of the sale, we are now able to progress our pureplay cyber security offering and we look forward to continuing our relationship with One Advisory as they help us on our journey. I would have no hesitation in recommending One Advisory’s services to any other growth companies.
