“Every problem is a gift—without problems we would not grow.” – Anthony Robbins We were at the DSC Conference last week and lots of great speakers. Reading the room however there is a lot of nervous CEO's / Executives / Business Owners and many were talking about mergers. After speaking with many NDIS providers it is apparent most organisations are focussing on the top line - revenue growth and diversification. Great, however this is not the guiding principle to a sustainable organisation and therefore doesn't mean success. If you 'Flip' your Profit & Loss Report around (thanks Steve Osborne for this analogy), focus on the bottom line and you realise sustainability comes down to efficiency. The NDIS is predominantly Fixed Priced funding – so you can’t actually improve margin by increasing the price (its fixed - set by the NDIA). So the only thing you can do is improve efficiencies, more of the revenue goes to being profitable – then reinvested back into the organisation in future years. So, coming back to mergers – growing your revenue line through merging is not necessarily the answer - you need to be efficient - can you do this and then consider the value of merging? Focussing on the operational efficiencies will move the dial just enough to improve cashflow and therefore sustainability. If you are not sure how, reach out and let’s have a conversation, I'm happy to share the ten years of NDIS experience.

Triton Partners celebrates one year of OCU ownership with the Managing Directors of companies acquired by OCU during this period. Triton acquired OCU on the 4th of August 2022. Within the first year of ownership, OCU has acquired seven privately owned businesses, significantly increasing the capabilities and reach that OCU is able to offer its clients.   One of the key strengths of the OCU acquisition program has been that owners have remained within the business post-acquisition, where they are encouraged to retain their entrepreneurial flair within the strategic and operating framework of OCU.   Triton marked the one-year anniversary of OCU ownership with a gathering of the acquired businesses’ Managing Directors (and ex-owners) to discuss life under OCU ownership. Managing Directors of five of the seven companies joined the Triton team and members of the OCU executive team for a presentation on Triton’s capabilities and background, followed by a celebratory working lunch. Holiday commitments of the Managing Directors of the other two companies prevented their attendance. Thomas Cheung of Triton Partners commented: “It is great to see entrepreneurial talent come into the OCU Group and flourish. The OCU leadership team offer significant support and insight into their acquired businesses that enables these businesses to significantly accelerate their growth plans. By working hard on diligencing companies prior to a deal, it is clear that this leads to strong cultural alignment with shared ambitions for the future.” Photo: Top row (left to right): Vince Bowler (Managing Director of OCU Services), David Snowball (Chief Financial Officer of OCU Group), Michael Hughes (Chief Executive Officer of OCU Group), Thomas Cheung (Managing Director at Triton Partners), Matthew Turner (Partner, Co-Head of Business Services at Triton Partners) and Richard Nosek (Managing Director of Andrews Associates)   Bottom row (left to right): Alex Geary (Managing Director of Integrum Power Engineering), Sam Hodge (Managing Director of OCU Opals), John D Cahill (Managing Director of OCU Modus), Gavin Murray MIET MInstLM (Managing Director of OCU Hornbill) and Mathew Edwards (M&A Director of OCU Group) #triton #ocu #ocuopals #integrum #ocumodus #ocuhornbill #andrewsassociates #ocunorthavon #fks #oneyear

As Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “There is nothing permanent except change” and following that, we’re proud to announce that our Fortus Midlands Limited and Fortus East Limited offices have merged with TC Group Teams from Northampton, Leicester, Milton Keynes, Southampton, Peterborough and Hertford, will now join colleagues in 28 other TC Group offices, to further strengthen the Groups offering. The Fortus brand will remain and continue its own journey servicing their clients in the North of England, and in doing so, we wish them all the success. TC Group are one of the fastest growing accountancy practices in the UK and currently sit at number 29 in the Accountancy Age Top 100. Much of their growth’s come from mergers and acquisitions as well as by expanding their advisory and value-added services, which is why we’re particularly excited by the opportunities now presented for our own specialist service teams to the wider TC Group. A positive and collaborative approach will help us all build strength through improved capability and resource sharing.  Here’s what members of the Executive teams are saying… “TC Group is delighted to have joined forces with Fortus Midlands and Fortus East” says TC COO Grant Bartholomew. They are a trusted and highly respected firm of professionals who go above and above to give exceptional services to their clients – an ethos shared by TC Group. As a result, Fortus clients can expect a smooth transition and the continuance of the high-quality services they have come to expect as our two firms merge and move forward as one.” Carly Liston, Managing Partner of the East region - “We’re delighted to be joining TC Group. It’s a great opportunity for us to share in the depth of knowledge, expertise and structure the group offers to both our clients and team.
