Sports finance and governance

We help governing bodies, clubs and other sports organisations understand the financial strength of their own organisations and other related organisations.

With ever-increasing focus within sport on better governance and more regulation, our expertise in these areas allow us to support clubs in developing more effective financial planning, governance, reporting and action.

We also support investors looking to invest in or transition out of sporting club ownership - in analysing, understanding and presenting the financial position of the target club.
