Buy · Grow · Exit - advisers to UK business owners
OnPoint is a UK accounting and deal advisory practice for people buying a business, running one, or getting ready to sell. Valuations and due diligence when you buy. Accounts and reporting you can steer by while you grow. A plan that holds its value when you exit.
Three stages, one continuous piece of work. Most owners meet us at one of them and stay for the other two.
For buyers weighing up an acquisition
Valuation, financial due diligence, affordability modelling and Smart Start support for owners acquiring their first or their fifth business.
For owner-managed businesses that want clearer numbers
Year-end accounts, tax, payroll, bookkeeping and management reporting handled properly, month after month - so decisions are made on evidence, not instinct.
For owners planning to sell or step back
Exit planning and sell-side preparation, started early enough to change the outcome rather than describe it.
Most practices file your accounts and stop there. We work on the decisions either side of that: what a business is worth, what it is really carrying, and what it takes to leave it well.
Valuations, financial due diligence, completion accounts and exit planning are a specialism here, not something taken on between tax returns.
Our Managing Director has bought, sold and grown businesses of his own, so the advice comes from someone who has sat on your side of the table.
Every diligence engagement runs through the same 35-section framework, so nothing important is left to whoever happens to be reading.

Most firms do one well and the other reluctantly. Ours are run by different people and held to the same standard, which is why the accounts we prepare survive the diligence we run.
A defensible view of what a business is worth, and of the assumptions the number rests on.
A 35-section examination of the target, written in English, with a view rather than a hedge.
Acquisition support for first-time buyers, from search discipline through to the first hundred days.
The work that happens two years before a sale, and decides most of what a sale is worth.
Statutory accounts prepared and filed on time, with a conversation about what they show rather than a PDF in an email.
Returns, planning and the timing decisions that quietly change what you keep.
Run accurately every period, with RTI, pensions and starters and leavers handled.
Clean, current records on cloud software, so the year-end is a formality and not an excavation.
Monthly or quarterly numbers with commentary, built around the decisions you are actually making.
Registration, scheme choice, returns and the edge cases that follow growth.

Every acquisition we review runs through the same 35 sections, grouped across six areas. A healthy-looking profit can hide a customer about to leave. A worrying balance sheet can hide a business one decision away from thriving. Finding which is which is the entire job.
Every section is worked, evidenced and signed off before the report leaves us - no gaps, no "not reviewed".
Every engagement ends in a written document you can act on. Ask us and we will send a fully redacted extract of genuine client work, usually within one working day.
Plain English, in writing, with a clear view on what the numbers mean and what we would do about them. No hedging, no filler, and no invoice that grows while you read it.
Request a sample reportAgreed in writing before we start. No clock running.
Your engagement is led by our Managing Director, not delegated down.
Deal timelines do not wait, and neither do our reports.
Findings you can act on, not hedge-everything boilerplate.
