Serious dilemmas, strategic decisions
When managing an investment fund, bank, WSE-listed company or a large business, you need to take strategic decisions. Your role leaves no room for error. Who should be trusted in situations similar to those outlined below?
What’s the value of our company? What’s the justifiable investment's a start-up?
How should I determine the value of my company? What’s the reasonable price to pay for a promising start-up? What’s the right valuation to help me take the right decision? I’m aware that this decision may affect the future of the entire business and several hundred loyal employees. There is no room for error here.
Validation of investment portfolio valuations
I operate in the strictly regulated financial market. For us, the validation of financial models developed by other entities is what gives comfort and security to the institution and the management board. I want to rest assured that the validation will be carried out by a proven partner.
Takeover
A competing group is trying to take over our business. Its goal is to increase their operating potential in foreign markets. How do I respond? Who will help in the process? How can I protect our interests? Choose carefully.

Valuations
Whether you wish to sell or buy a business, you must be sure that the company you represent will not lose on the deal. As a fund representative, you need regular quarterly impairment tests. There are many more reasons why you might need valuations. Come to us, we’ll help.

Validations
When you are responsible for an investment portfolio, you should also pay heed to regulatory matters. Regulatory requirements are an important part of the business. If you get the fair value wrong, you might face fines running in millions. In the event of a dispute, you expect your advisers to confirm the valuation in court as well. This is what we provide.

Transaction consultancy
When running a business, you do not sell or buy businesses on a daily basis. More often that not, you also do not have too much time to probe the market and look out for investment opportunities. A trusted partner who specialises in such operations can certainly be of great help to you.

Accounting and payroll management for discerning clients
Get ongoing support and contact with seasoned specialists in accounting, controlling and finance. Imagine a world in which you don’t need to think about processing invoices, mire in tedious tax interpretations and worry about another vacancy in Accounting or Payroll. This is because you have people to watch over everything and focus on seeking information that will oil the wheels of your business.
Combine this with our long-standing experience in acquisitions, valuations and financial analyses, gained in cooperation with the largest players from various industries. Now this service is within your reach. Here we are. Ground Frost.
Not only for banks, funds and joint stock companies
Our projects are usually sophisticated and require advanced knowledge of accounting, finance and bookkeeping. They call for savvy in management accounting and controlling. Close cooperation with trusted and reputable law firms is critical.
This does not mean that we don’t take simpler orders. We are also often approached by SMEs. Look at the examples below.
Vendor due diligence
This exercise will allow you to objectively assess whether your company would be attractive to a potential buyer. See if it is free from any major flaws that could obstruct or indeed derail negotiations. Or just anything that could lower the price.
Due diligence for the buyer
It is necessary to help you prepare for a secure and informed acquisition or merger of even small entities. The analysis will tell you if it’s worth moving to the next stages of the transaction. Does the counterparty conceal any information that might immediately end the negotiations?
Forensic audits and fraud prevention
By using professional support, you will detect possible patterns of internal fraud, or attempts to hide or transfer assets. We will look into the whole case and collect evidence. If necessary, we will present it to the court. We can also help in disputes between partners.
Division of assets
This is often a process that gives you a lot of negative emotions. That’s when you need a cool-headed partner who sees the whole picture, who can cope with the complex division processes, and who will take care of your business as if it was his own.
Search for acquisition goals
You are or want to become a market leader. Your appetite is growing. You are observing the local market and maybe the global one as well. You need a partner who will not only assist you in the search, but who will also make a preliminary analysis of the attractiveness of potential targets. Think of a superior target screening.
Advice on the application of IFRSs
Many in-house accounting departments tasked with adopting IFRSs/ IASs face a number of difficulties. They spend a considerable amount of time searching for clues, often resorting to unreliable sources. How to ensure correct reporting? How to properly disclose all financial statement items?
HR and payroll
Personnel issues, personnel controlling and the whole payroll area are always closely linked to accounting. To ensure comprehensive outsourcing of the accounting function, your partner should be capable of providing expertise in the area of “hard” HR as well.
Consolidations
Consolidations and purchase price allocations can keep even very experienced accountants awake at night. More often than not, this calls for a very advanced skills of the entire team working on those complex and time-consuming processes.

Wrong decisions, big problems
Whether you need our services for regulatory reasons or tax reasons, or in connection with a financial statements audit or a planned acquisition.
You want to have a peace of mind and comfort that your financial models have been prepared professionally, based on proven, best-in-class standards. The key is to carry out the transaction efficiently and smoothly to the maximum extent, eliminating risks and averting bad decisions.
Unfortunately, choosing a random company that promises quality but has not been sufficiently verified by the market and is unable to defend its valuations in the event of a dispute, may ultimately result in serious issues, stress and missed deadlines. What are the consequences of choosing the wrong partner?
- In the course of negotiations, he easily yields, is unsure of his calculations and is easily “rattled”.
- He keeps close to you only until the invoice is issued. In the event of a court dispute, you are left alone.
- Unreliably assembles data sources, and builds models and estimations that are easily refuted.
- Is not easily contactable, works intuitively. Does not look for sources. Relies on guesswork.
