Dear Searchfunders! I am an independent FDD professional based out of Zurich, Switzerland, with experience from +50 FDD transactions, many of them in the German-speaking area. I bring 11 years in finance, accounting and corporate governance and have been Engagement Manager in the Transaction Services practice of a Big Four before establishing my firm. Acquiring a business is a major financial decision, so you want to be comfortable around the target's earnings quality. Remember: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To provide you with that comfort, I hold the – perhaps conservative – approach of properly reading, reviewing and analysing documents and accounts by myself. Also, whenever possible, I meet target management and their accountants in-person to form a thorough opinion and reconcile issues together with them. You benefit from a hands-on process, and, most importantly, much slimmer fees compared to my competitors ;) Of course, I will still issue a professional report through my firm, a registered entity with insurance coverage. If you are looking to acquire an SME target in Germany or Switzerland and need a hands-on in-depth QOE or full-scope FDD from someone who is familiar with local GAAP and SME deals, please feel free to reach out via: redacted Yours, Tim
