The right numbers. A better deal.
Takmed helps buyers, sellers and owners of companies make big decisions on verified figures – in Finland and internationally through the ONEtoONE network.
- years as CFO and finance director

- cities in the ONEtoONE Corporate Finance network

Before a big decision, look properly at the numbers.
In an acquisition, a financing round or an investment, a wrong number soon costs more than a careful review. We trace the figures back to the source documents, challenge the assumptions and tell you plainly what they mean for your decision.
What is your situation?
Choose the one closest to yours to see how we can help.
Selling a company
Get the company ready for sale, set a realistic value and reach buyers in Finland and abroad, confidentially.

A cash flow forecast and investment case that stand up to questions from the bank and the board.
Needing a CFO

Why Takmed
We don't sell ready-made slide decks. We go through the actual numbers, challenge the assumptions and show our calculations openly.
-
Verified figures, not the seller's story
We tie the numbers back to source documents and adjust for one-off items, so your decision rests on real earnings.
-
Experience from the CFO's chair
Over 15 years as CFO and finance director: we know how numbers are produced inside a company, and where they fail.
-
Scoped to the deal
An SME transaction doesn't need a big-ticket process. The scope is set by what the decision requires.
-
An international network at your disposal
Through ONEtoONE Corporate Finance: buyers, investors and targets in over 90 cities on five continents.
