In professional and business services, your capital is not on a shelf; it walks through the door every morning. IT and software companies, private clinics, engineering and design firms, agencies and consultancies grow on the knowledge of their people. RSM Croatia helps them retain that value, measure it and turn it into steady growth, an incoming investor or a successful sale.
Challenges for professional and business services
Growth in a business that sells expertise depends on how well it keeps its people and how precisely it measures the profitability of projects and clients.
- People and rewards – attracting and retaining talent with competitive reward models.
- Profitability – tracking margin by project, client and employee.
- Exporting services – VAT and working with clients outside Croatia.
- Funding growth – bringing in investors and preparing for the next stage.
- Intangible value – valuing a company whose main assets are expertise, clients and software.

Frequently asked questions
The tax treatment depends on the model, whether share grants, options or phantom shares, and on when shares are acquired and sold. Before you launch a plan, we prepare an analysis of the tax effects for both the company and its employees.
We link time records, costs and billing by project, so every month you see which projects, clients and teams make money and which consume it.
The value of such businesses depends mostly on recurring revenue, client mix, retention of key people and growth potential. We explain our approach and methods in more detail on our Valuations page.
