Our specialist team

We provide tailored services that our clients want, need and value

The Fordham retail services team provides specialised business advisory and financial advice to the industry that is designed to make our client’s businesses – and their lives – better. Our depth of expertise is derived from having a focus on working with retailers of apparel, footwear, and accessories, as well as hospitality and e-commerce based businesses. We service a broad range of clients, from start-up businesses, right through to large national and multinational operations.

Our work goes far beyond traditional financial statement and tax return preparation. Instead, we aim to provide meaningful industry insight and advice on what works and what doesn’t. We share knowledge learned from our broader client base where we often act on advisory boards, in the development of strategy and in the day to day detail that is required to be a successful retailer.

We proactively assist our clients with the intention to grow, manage and optimise the performance of their businesses, which may, ultimately result in the transfer and protection of wealth from the business to their passive family entities and future generations.

We are active members of industry bodies and can help drive national policy for your industry through representation on these bodies’ committees.

We have a broad network of independent Bankers, Lawyers and industry participants to assist our clients to connect where there is a mutually beneficial outcome.

Our depth, knowledge and connectivity in the fashion and retail industry positions us well to assist an aspiring business.
