Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Following the year end, in November 2024, the Company acquired Sowga Limited ("Sowga"), a specialist building and technical facilities management provider with revenues in excess of £20m. The acquisition strengthens Pareto's technical service delivery capabilities, broadens its client base, particularly within the commercial managed and tenanted office space within London and the Southeast and broadens the range of services it can self-deliver and offer to our customers.”
- “On 28 November 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Sowga Limited for initial consideration of £7,500,000 plus contingent consideration up to a maximum consideration of £12,760,000 plus any working capital adjustments. Management has not finalised the acquisition accounting at the date of signing. The acquisition was funded through debt from the Company's existing banking arrangement.”
- “There were several key customer retentions during the year but the most prestigious of these was the reward of the Zoological Society of London ("ZSL") which extended our 8-year relationship with this customer.”
- “During the year ended 30 September 2024, the Company consolidated its reputation as one of the fastest growing facilities management businesses, being recognised in the UK Fast Growth Index 2024.”
- “Growth was also recognised in the Large Deal of the Year, Thames Valley Deal Awards 2024, which recognised the success of the Company is the completion of its sale from NVM.”
- “Our focus on ESG continued to be central throughout the year evidenced by the IWFM Impact Award for Best SME- Led Innovation 2023, following the Company's journey to carbon neutrality, fleet electrification and ISO 14001 certification.”
