Experience
Some of Steven’s best work is in developing strategies that work in or on the client’s business to help the client achieve their personal goals. Steven considers that the key to these assignments is to understand the client’s goals and objectives and then develop tailor-made strategies and structures for that client.
Assignment
Established a plan for a business client's eventual exit from his business.
Process and outcome
The first step was to negotiate and document a shareholders’ agreement with the other shareholders. That agreement included a valuation methodology for the transfer of shares. The second step was to assist the client with improving the profitability of the business which included reviewing the business’ various product lines and ensuring that only profitable lines were continued. The third step was to monitor and advise on the best time to execute the sale to maximise the sale price received.
Assignment
Assisted a business client with negotiating the purchase of the client’s major competitor.
Process and outcome
The client was prepared to pay a higher price to remove a competitor. Steven was able to demonstrate to the client that a fair and commercial purchase price was much lower than the client expected because there were no other logical buyers. Steven then led the due diligence exercise about the purchase which highlighted a number of issues that culminated in further reductions in the purchase price.
Assignment
Engaged to assist a client with reducing his tax whilst eliminating some personal non tax-deductible debt.
Process and outcome
Steven determined that there was a commercial property owned personally that was used in his client’s business. After appropriate research and review, it was determined that the asset satisfied all of the tests to qualify for the Small Business CGT concessions. The property was transferred to the client’s Self-Managed Superannuation Fund, partly for cash and partly as a contribution. There was no tax applicable to the large capital gain. The business now enjoys an ongoing income tax deduction for the rent paid. The client also received some cash from the Superannuation Fund that was used to repay the non-deductible home loan.
