Robert Laskowski

Numbers have no emotions — that's his principle

Robert joined Corporate Bridge in March 2017. For the last 7 years, he has conducted 63 financial analyses for companies standing on the brink of breakup. His task is simple: check what the business is really worth and how to divide it so both sides can sleep peacefully. He doesn't deal with psychology, only Excel. If partners argue over the value of machines purchased in 2019, Robert provides a valuation based on 14 real points of reference.

Before working with us, he spent 9 years in the controlling department of a Warsaw-based manufacturing company. There he saw how a lack of clear financial rules can destroy a plant employing 42 people. At Corporate Bridge, he ensures every zloty is assigned to a specific owner. Business must keep running, and without reliable data, that's impossible. Honestly, Robert is not the cheapest specialist on the market, but his valuations are rarely challenged in courts.

In his work, he uses his own MK-Analysis sheet, which accounts for not only fixed assets but also hidden liabilities from the last 3 years. He helped, among others, a small printing house in Pruszków where partners hadn't spoken for 8 months. After 12 days of Robert's work, they received an 11-page report. Based on that, they agreed in 2 hours. A clean table and a clean account is the only acceptable result of any cooperation for him.

Privately, Robert is interested in numismatics and restoring old mechanical clocks. The same precision required to repair a 1954 mechanism is useful for him when looking for errors in land registers. He believes every company can be settled fairly as long as mutual grievances are set aside. He can be brutally honest in assessments, but clients value him for not beating around the bush.

In the partner separation process, Robert usually comes in at the second stage. First we examine the legal situation, and then he calculates the market value of shares. If you plan to exit a business within the next 6 months, his analysis is the first step you should take. Without burning bridges, but with hard arguments in hand.
