Client Comments

"By employing Tuula and Xenva at a critical stage of our development we got ourselves a top-level FD (with knowledge of our industry as well as expertise in grants, taxation and all accounting matters) taking a full role in our management, as well as complete “back-office” support.  We had complete support, not only in dealing with day to day matters in a timely and efficient manner, but in preparing for due diligence and having full transactional support when we needed it.  Xenva was very much part of our “team” despite operating over a hundred miles away from our main base.  Compared to other part-time finance directors, and other outsourced finance functions I have used in the past, this service and support was “world class” and we are very grateful for all the work done to help take our business forward."

"Xenva have been a key partner in the development of Crescent Diagnostics as an investment ready company. I would recommend them to any early stage company seeking a partner with the financial skills to grow with them on a day to day basis and in major financial transactions."

"Tuula has managed the entire process of private equity funding, including preparation of business plans, presentation to prospective investors, negotiation, term sheets, due diligence, warranties, articles of association, shareholders' agreements and closing legal documents. I believe that she is highly experienced in private equity corporate finance and I would recommend her competencies to other directors of private companies without hesitation."

Case Study

"In the year that Xenva was working with Paras, we achieved a step change into robust financial management. This enabled the company to continue to grow. In the summer of 2008, Paras was acquired by a FTSE 250 company. Xenva supported Paras through the acquisition process providing invaluable commercial and financial advice. The management team at Paras were very impressed with the Xenva service. In particular, we felt that Xenva staff were personally committed to our company's success and helped us achieve it. In Xenva, we had access to high level FD services not normally available to SME's at an affordable price."
