When you’re as busy and ambitious as the typical Fordham client, a certain amount of mingling between ‘work-life’ and ‘home-life’ is inevitable. That’s why we need to understand both so we can put together a plan to grow and protect your personal wealth alongside your business.

Running a business can be challenging. Yet it’s also incredibly rewarding. At Fordham we offer business owners accounting, business advisory and financial advice services designed to make their business - and their lives - better.
We will advise you on the best way to grow and protect your business and your personal wealth, in tandem.

This, in many ways, is the culmination of everything you’ve been working towards. We will ensure that your successful business sets a great foundation for your future.
Starting a business is a lonely business. Having partners that you can rely on to give you the right advice at the right time can make all the difference. It’s why you want advisers that know you, not just your business.
As businesses grow and mature, they often outgrow the structures and strategies which initially worked so well. But how do you know when to make a change?
Central to every successful business is a professional approach to risk management. Without a properly considered strategy, business owners can make poor decisions and may not achieve their true potential.
The most important point is, whether sale, succession, or somewhere in-between, exiting a business should be a carefully planned and controlled process.
