As we navigate the new business environment, business advisory services are even more crucial than ever – and Jirsch Sutherland is here to provide the specialist support that trusted advisers and their clients need. And the first step is an obligation-free consultation.
“As we enter the post-pandemic economy, there’s an increasing need for solutions to help businesses recalibrate and thrive. Following lockdowns and the withdrawal of various government support schemes, we’ve gone from survival to revival phase and now’s the time to plan for the future,” says Jirsch Sutherland National Managing Partner Bradd Morelli. “Equally, we understand there are businesses that are struggling and might not be able to see a way out of their situation, so we’re here to provide solutions – whether that’s through refinancing, a Voluntary Administration, through the Small Business Restructuring Process, or an orderly winding down.”
Jirsch Sutherland offers obligation-free consultations to accountants, business owners, directors and other trusted advisers. The advice centres on business restructure, rescue, refinancing and insolvency related matters.
“Our free consultation service is not new – it has been offered by Jirsch Sutherland for a number of years as part our commitment to help the communities in which our team members work and live. A key factor in its popularity is that those who take advantage of a free consultation are under no obligation to then move to formally use the firm’s services,” says Morelli.
“As a firm, we want to use our skill-sets and expertise to help businesses and their advisers determine the best path that suits their needs and situation. For many, there’s often little knowledge about where to turn and we offer them a completely different perspective when it comes to options that are available that they may know absolutely nothing about.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of providing guidance on business rescue, recalibration and insolvency matters, and by allowing advisers to pick our brains on behalf of their clients – without any obligation – they are given the confidence to ask about and explore different options.”
All Jirsch Sutherland and WA Insolvency Solutions (WAIS) Partners are happy to take calls and respond to emails. Pre-appointment meetings with potential clients are also part of the complimentary service.
“The free consultation provides an important sounding board before decisions are implemented that may have a long-term impact on a business,” says Morelli. “Many businesses have been forced to adapt their operations to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and they might not have had time to prepare – not only for the day-to-day changes but for what’s ahead post-pandemic.”
Types of enquiries
Morelli says the types of enquiries Jirsch Sutherland receives from accountants and lawyers on behalf of their clients are generally around issues such as:
- not being able to pay tax debt or meet other statutory obligations
- workers’ compensation claims
- loss of a contract and the resulting loss of income
- events that have caused business turnover to drop dramatically (such as COVID-19)
- director, shareholder and family disputes
- litigation
“Our door is always open to discuss sensitive financial issues,” says Morelli. “Sometimes just a five-minute chat will provide much-needed perspective for a business or individual.”
