We are a small limited company registered in England operating in the property management and short term lettings sector. The company is currently believed to be balance sheet insolvent and we are seeking professional accounting advice on the options available to us.

We need a qualified accountant to review our financial position, assess the viability of this plan and advise on the most appropriate route forward. What We Need A thorough review of our current financial position including balance sheet, profit and loss, and outstanding creditor obligations Assessment of whether the company meets the legal tests for insolvency (cash flow and balance sheet) Professional opinion on whether our proposed going concern plan is viable and defensible Advice on directors' duties and obligations when trading while insolvent, including wrongful trading risk under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986 Guidance on available options such as Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), creditor negotiations, or formal restructuring A written summary or report that we can present to creditors and use for our own records Required Qualifications & AccreditationThis is a non negotiable requirement. The accountant must hold one of the following: ACA or FCA (Associate or Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, ICAEW) Must hold a current ICAEW practising certificate Ideally licensed by the ICAEW as an Insolvency Practitioner or have demonstrable experience advising owner managed businesses on insolvency, restructuring and going concern matters We will verify your ICAEW membership before engagement. Accountants registered with ACCA, CIMA or other bodies only will not be considered for this role. We specifically require ICAEW accreditation. Experience We Are Looking For Advising small or micro limited companies (turnover under £200k) on insolvency and restructuring Working with owner managed or director led businesses Familiarity with creditor negotiation, CVAs and informal arrangements Understanding of the property or hospitality sector is a bonus but not essential Deliverables An initial consultation (video call or phone) to understand our situation Review of financial records we provide (Xero accounts, creditor schedule, restructuring plan) Written advice or report covering viability, risks and recommended next steps Ongoing availability for follow up questions during the restructuring process (to be agreed) Please quote your hourly rate or a fixed fee for the initial review and report. We are a small business so cost awareness is important, but we understand the value of proper professional advice and are happy to pay a fair rate for qualified expertise. Please include in your proposal: Your ICAEW membership number and practising certificate status A brief summary of your experience with insolvency or going concern advisory work Your proposed approach and estimated timeline Your fee structure (hourly or fixed) A few notes: I've kept the company name, specific figures and property details out of the posting so you're not sharing sensitive information publicly The ICAEW requirement is clearly stated as non negotiable with a note that you'll verify membership I've mentioned S214 wrongful trading and CVAs specifically so you attract people who actually know this area, not just general bookkeepers Budget is left open for them to quote rather than setting a number, which should get you a range of proposals to compare

9 days ago32 proposalsRemotePrivate Funder Wanted for Settlement Advance
I am looking to hear from private funders, settlement advance lenders, litigation/property funding specialists, or brokers with access to private finance. I have an agreed legal settlement in place following a property-related dispute. Under the settlement, I am due to receive a substantial payment when the property is sold. The settlement is documented in writing, and my position is protected by a restriction against the property. I am exploring whether a private funder or suitable lender would consider advancing approximately £25,000 to £30,000 against the expected settlement proceeds. Repayment would ideally be made from the settlement funds once the property is sold. I can provide further details privately, including solicitor details, basic settlement information, and a redacted copy of the settlement agreement if required. I am particularly interested in hearing from anyone with genuine access to: private funders; settlement advance finance; litigation funding; property settlement finance; short-term finance secured or supported by future settlement proceeds; specialist lending where repayment is expected from a legal settlement. Please only respond if you have relevant experience or access to legitimate funding options. I am happy to pay a reasonable fee for an initial review, introduction, or advice on viability, but confidentiality will be required before detailed documents are shared. Please outline your experience, whether you have access to private funders or lenders, and what information you would need to assess this properly.
