SLM is pleased to announce that it acted as corporate adviser on the sale of leading Melbourne-based professional services firm, The CFO Solution, to Acclime Australia, part of the global Acclime Group.

Established in 2000, The CFO Solution provides virtual CFO-level financial strategy and reporting advice, capital-raising assistance, company secretarial services, accounts payable, and consulting services.  The company has specialised in assisting clients listed on the ASX and NASDAQ bourses, as well as private companies, especially in the technology and mining sectors.

Acclime is the premier corporate and advisory services provider in Asia, operating in key Asia Pacific jurisdictions including mainland China, Hong Kong Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines  Indonesia, Singapore, India, Australia and New Zealand.  The acquisition of The CFO Solution will enable Acclime Australia to support the complete spectrum of corporate clients with a broader range of corporate services, from start-ups, FDI entrants, pre-IPO corporates as well as to listed clients.

The CFO Solution is the third consecutive transaction on which SLM has advised in the corporate services sector, following the sale of Leydon Freyer to Vistra in 2021 and Mertons Corporate Services to Acclime in 2022.

On this transaction SLM worked closely with SBA Law, which acted as legal adviser to The CFO Solution.
