The eventual settlement in divorce can be truly life-changing. You'll want it to be fair, but divorce finance is an intricate area and the detail can be bewildering. For many people it will be hard enough just to figure out their own financial position. A much greater challenge is to get to grips with that of the spouse.
Not everyone is entirely comfortable with financial matters. Nor is everyone familiar with business accounts, share options, pensions, managing bank accounts and budgets. This is where we specialise. Often, one party is more financially aware, has better access to funds and feels more “in control”. A skilled Divorce Accountant can redress that inequity and tip the balance of arguments in your favour.
In many divorces having a good Divorce Accountant is at least as important as having a good solicitor.
The other side may misrepresent their wealth and downplay their income. Unravelling their true situation, probing further with pertinent questions and envisaging the potential outcome under different scenarios should help to ensure that you are not disadvantaged as you seek to secure your fair share of the matrimonial pot.
A Divorce Accountant helps achieve a better financial result for you in your divorce. We examine the finances in detail to establish who’s got what, where it came from and how much it’s worth. By presenting an explicit picture of the finances, the arguments as to how the assets should be shared become far more persuasive.
Strong arguments create the framework for a better outcome.
Since most divorces never reach Court but are settled beforehand by negotiation our accounting expertise helps improve your negotiating position in any out-of-court settlement. It helps present more persuasive evidence to the other side, to Counsel and to the Court should it get that far.
For many, divorce is all about money and engaging us from the start will position our expertise at the centre of the financial planning. Taking the lead in finance from the outset will be much more valuable and cost-effective for you than leaving it solely in the hands of the lawyer.
We work exclusively for you, but we frequently link closely with your legal team; combining our respective legal and accounting skills to present the best possible case. Solicitors increasingly engage us themselves to assist in the more complex financial aspects of a divorce and, like them, we only ever act for one side. As accountants, we do not advise on legal areas, just the financial.
my Divorce Accountant is not a firm in itself, but an association of senior chartered accountants; specialists in divorce, veterans in business and their dealings and experts in Form E. An accountant on your side to guide and to advise you throughout the process, taking time to explain what’s required, why it's important and where an advantage might be explored.
