ADVISORY SERVICES

BUSINESS ADVISORY

We offer a full range of management, strategy and change management consulting services to organisations of all sizes. As economies continue to grow, so does the opportunities presented to entrepreneurs. Large and SME clients in this field may find themselves anywhere on the performance curve from exponential growth to stalled or even losing market share and business. We provide advice and solutions including retained advisory roles at board level and strategic support.

We have sub-teams with a mix of accounting, legal and financial backgrounds focussed on Corporate Finance Advisory services (M&A Advisory, Transaction Support and Due Diligence, Corporate and Institutional Restructuring, and Project Finance Advisory). We are able to draw from our cross-border teams to offer a full suite of services across the transaction cycle. In restructuring situations, we are able to work with management and lenders in all scenarios from strategic restructuring, to assessing the future viability of organisations in distressed situations to support the restructuring decision.

As an international business, Harley Reed is uniquely positioned to support individuals and organisations who are looking to establish themselves in the African regions. Expanding operations into a new region poses a number of obstacles that require attention and local market knowledge in order for market penetration to be successful.

PUBLIC SECTOR ADVISORY

We work with public sector organisations and international development partners to deliver solutions tailored to meet the challenges posed by a sector driven by the need for transparency, efficiency and value for money. We conduct a range of assignments in specialist areas across government transformation programmes.

Our approach is to draw on our established and proven experience spanning strategy, institutional reform, governance, financial management, procurement and supply chain management to redesign operational processes in a lean and sustainable manner. Our team has particular expertise in the challenges of public sector procurement, across the entire cycle from budget planning through to letting contracts, award and supplier management.

This allows us to focus on value on a whole-life basis. Across all our projects, we focus on building capability to deliver improved public services on a long-term basis post completion of our specific assignments.

SUPPLY CHAIN ADVISORY

Our supply chain team delivers enterprise value through supply chain transformation projects. We consider commercial, financial and operational functions to develop supply chains strategies. Our services span the full procurement cycle from business case development and strategic sourcing, to contract and supplier relationship management.

We support private equity clients to optimise returns through diagnostic procurement, spend, system and working capital reviews. We are able to lead on the implementation of strategic sourcing initiatives , conduct spend analytics, perform system reviews, deliver working capital assignments and structure effective category management units.

Whilst we support our clients to deliver improvements in procurement and the broader supply chain, we simultaneously effect organisation, people and operating model changes to ensure a step change in long term capability. Our strength and depth in supply chain training allow us to also transform the skills of our client’s staff to ensure improvements are sustained long after project closure.

In order to ensure our clients are able to achieve significant value, we ensure that where possible our professional fees are directly linked to performance. We support our projects through a range of specialist supply chain analytics tools provided by global leading IT providers, whilst remaining product agnostic to ensure the right tool is applied to each individual circumstance.
