The ownership journey
Buy. Grow.
Exit.
Three stages, one continuous piece of work. Most owners meet us at one of them and stay for the other two.
Know exactly what you are buying before the money moves.
Valuation, financial due diligence, affordability modelling and Smart Start support for owners acquiring their first or their fifth business. Valuation & diligence Grow For owner-managed businesses that want clearer numbersRun the business on numbers you can act on.
Year-end accounts, tax, payroll, bookkeeping and management reporting handled properly, month after month - so decisions are made on evidence, not instinct. Accounts & reporting Exit For owners planning to sell or step backLeave on your terms, at a price that reflects the work.
Exit planning and sell-side preparation, started early enough to change the outcome rather than describe it. Exit planningWhy OnPoint
Not another
high-street accountant.
Most practices file your accounts and stop there. We work on the decisions either side of that: what a business is worth, what it is really carrying, and what it takes to leave it well.
Deal work is the day job
Valuations, financial due diligence, completion accounts and exit planning are a specialism here, not something taken on between tax returns.
Advice from an owner
Our Managing Director has bought, sold and grown businesses of his own, so the advice comes from someone who has sat on your side of the table.
A framework, not a hunch
Every diligence engagement runs through the same 35-section framework, so nothing important is left to whoever happens to be reading.
Recognised work
Deal Team Advisor of the Year at the Dealmakers Academy Awards 2025.
Two halves of one practice
Deal advisory and everyday accounting,
under one roof.
Most firms do one well and the other reluctantly. Ours are run by different people and held to the same standard, which is why the accounts we prepare survive the diligence we run.
Deal advisory
Business valuations
A defensible view of what a business is worth, and of the assumptions the number rests on.
Financial due diligence
A 35-section examination of the target, written in English, with a view rather than a hedge.
Smart Start
Acquisition support for first-time buyers, from search discipline through to the first hundred days.
Exit planning
The work that happens two years before a sale, and decides most of what a sale is worth.
Everyday accounting
Year-end accounts
Statutory accounts prepared and filed on time, with a conversation about what they show rather than a PDF in an email.
Corporation & personal tax
Returns, planning and the timing decisions that change what you keep.
Payroll
Run accurately every period, with RTI, pensions and starters and leavers handled.
Bookkeeping
Clean, current records on cloud software, so the year-end is a formality and not an excavation.
Management reporting
Monthly or quarterly numbers with commentary, built around the decisions you are making.
VAT
Registration, scheme choice, returns and the edge cases that follow growth.
The methodology · Proprietary framework
The 35-Point
Due Diligence
Framework.
Every acquisition we review runs through the same 35 sections, grouped across six areas. A healthy-looking profit can hide a customer about to leave. A worrying balance sheet can hide a business one decision away from thriving. Finding which is which is the entire job.
- Trading & earnings
- Balance sheet
- Cash & funding
- People & operating risk
- Compliance & tax
- Deal readiness
Every section is worked, evidenced and signed off before the report leaves us - no gaps, no "not reviewed".
The work itself
See a real report
before you commit.
Every engagement ends in a written document you can act on. Ask us and we will send a fully redacted extract of genuine client work, usually within one working day.
Plain English, in writing, with a clear view on what the numbers mean and what we would do about them. No hedging, no filler, and no invoice that grows while you read it.
How we work
Four things agreed
before anything starts.
Fixed fees
Agreed in writing before we start. No clock running.
Led from the top
Your engagement is led by our Managing Director, not delegated down.
Days, not months
Deal timelines do not wait, and neither do our reports.
Plain English
Findings you can act on, not hedge-everything boilerplate.
People
Two service lines,
two named leads.
Buying, growing and exiting is led personally by Johann Goree. Bookkeeping, payroll, tax and management accounts are led by Jade Mountford, keeping hundreds of UK businesses running.

I had a very enlightening call with Johan regarding a potential business purchase. The call reassured us on the businesses financial viability, highlighted red flags and ultimately put us in a better position to set our parameters and make an offer with confidence.
Victoria CribbGoogle review
I first met Johann at an event that he was speaking at a few years ago.
I found his presentation easy to follow, enjoyable and informative. Since then, I have always found him to be approachable and helpful with whatever acquisition challenges I posed him.
Overall his service and advice I have found to be valuable and useful.
Paul HodgsonGoogle review
Buying a business is one of the biggest decisions I've ever made, so having the right people around me was invaluable. That's exactly what we found with Johann and the team at Onpoint Accounting during our acquisition of Wickshire Engineering Ltd.
Johann's financial due diligence was completed promptly and with exceptional attention to detail. More importantly, he didn't just present us with a report full of figure - he helped us understand the story behind the numbers. He gave us confidence that we were purchasing a stable, well-managed and profitable business, while also making sure we were fully aware of any potential risks before we committed.
What stood out most was Johann's willingness to take the time to discuss his findings with both me and my accountant. He was approachable, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping us make the right decision, rather than simply ticking a box.
Now, a year on, I'm even more grateful for the part Johann played in that journey. I've recommended him and Onpoint Accounting several times already, and I'll continue to do so whenever the opportunity arises. In fact, I wouldn't hesitate to use Johann again for any future business acquisitions.
If you're looking for someone who combines technical expertise with clear communication and genuine integrity, I can wholeheartedly recommend Johann and the team at Onpoint Accounting.
Looking back a year later, I can say with confidence that Johann's assessment proved to be an accurate reflection of the business we acquired.
Ian HeadonGoogle review
I moved to OnPoint accounting a few years ago now, after some issues with a previous accountant. We have a yearly meeting to discuss any nuances for the past year and potential changes to my strategy for the future year, and how that may impact me. I am in England, and they have a UK address to support English clients; I can highly recommend them.
