Friesian was engaged to assist us with a full business review, succession planning, and readiness for sale. Their team conducted a detailed assessment of our operations, cleaned and restructured our financials, and helped us separate personal and business assets to improve transparency and valuation. They also supported us in modernizing our internal reporting and guided us through governance and ownership restructuring, enabling the business to become investor-ready.
