Build and Exit
Build and Exit
Podcast Description
As a chartered management accountant by trade, I uncovered my true potential at 37, moving from a well-paid corporate job to building my own accounting and consultancy firm. Having worked on 5-10 acquisitions or business exits each month for clients, I understand the key challenges business owners face, including getting the real value they want for their business, whilst having the right controls and processes in place so the business can run independently of the owners.
The Build and Exit podcast will include conversations, stories and real-life examples of day-to-day challenges business owners face, different methods of growth including acquisitions and top tips on how owners can transition from working in their business to working on it, enabling them to maximize their value on exit. I will also include episodes where I share my own learnings on business management and how Wilkinson Accounting Solutions are planning to continue to grow by acquisition.

Are you having a negative impact on the value of your business?
So many business owners aren’t aware of the effect they are having on the value of their business before sale. They take on too many roles across the business, aren’t tracking what they pay themselves over the year, and all this impacts what they could be taking home from selling it further down the line.
In this episode I go into the fundamentals of financial concepts all business owners should know to be able to sell their business for as much as possible. I cover EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and the impacts of salaries and dividends on valuations.
With enough knowledge and a few adjustments, you can maximise what you can sell your business for.
Listen up to find out how!
“Are the decision you make maximising profit?” – Julie
You’ll hear about:
- Why adjusted EBITDA is crucial for understanding business value during sales.
- The accruals concept helps match income with costs for accurate financial reporting.
- Business owners often overlook the impact of their roles on company valuation.
- Dividends taken by owners can distort profit margins and business valuation.
