Capital Analysis
Critical Thinking in Finance
CAPITAL ANALYSIS
​Capital Analysis provides board advice, transaction and valuation due diligence, litigation and investigative services for complex and high-consequence financial matters.
We answer the essential question​: "What is really going on here?" Our point of difference is our philosophy. Finance is logical, but that logic is deeply layered in a complex, reflexive, and path-dependent system. ​Theoretical models, heuristics and market practice can help, but they are never determinative and can easily mislead. ​Real understanding requires knowledge, experience and open, critical thinking. That is what we bring for you.
Areas - financial markets, corporate finance, valuation, investment decision-making, project & infrastructure finance, banking, credit & lending, financial modelling.
"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong" H. L. Mencken
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
BOARD ADVICE
If you're the board or an individual director of an entity with a financial matter that is beyond your experience, or you have to ensure you have addressed all relevant financial considerations, or you just need to understand what is really going on, we can give you independent advice in accordance with best practice from the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
TRANSACTION AND VALUATION DUE DILIGENCE
Transaction and Valuation Due Diligence - Whether you are providing or raising capital, we can assist with collaborative or independent financial due diligence on all types of transactions. We undertake commercial analysis of capital structure, financing facilities and other key transaction agreements; prepare or audit financial models, test model assumptions, and undertake scenario, sensitivity and financial risk analysis. We also analyse and critique valuations, assessing their context, methodology, assumptions and logic, and undertaking basic process audit.
LITIGATION
We know the challenge of finding independent or "dirty" experts who have the breadth of experience and the understanding of theory to identify, let alone opine credibly on, the real financial issues in litigation. We have done and can do both, having strong credentials in industry, academia and the law.
INVESTIGATION
Sometimes you have to begin at the beginning, with the who, what, when, where and why. We investigate financial matters, to inform and educate as well as to identify misconduct. Our strength is knowing what to look for, how to find it, and what it means.
