About us

 

19 Steps Business Advisory exists to give business owners, boards, and investors the clarity they need to make confident decisions. Our work is grounded in deep financial insight, practical commercial experience, and a commitment to helping clients understand their position before they act. We focus on the issues that matter most — value, risk, structure, and long‑term stability.

The firm is led by Navneet Jyoti, a Chartered Accountant (CA) and MAICD with more than 20 years of experience across public practice, corporate finance, and strategic advisory. Navneet has spent his career guiding SMEs, private groups, and boards through complex financial questions, major transitions, and high‑stakes decisions. His approach combines analytical depth with clear, straightforward communication, ensuring clients understand not just the numbers, but the implications behind them.

Our advisory model is intentionally independent. We do not sell products, manage investments, or act as liquidators. Instead, we provide objective, evidence‑based guidance across business valuation, pre‑liquidation strategy, asset protection, business appraisal for buyers, and board advisory. Every engagement is designed to bring structure, clarity, and commercial logic to the decision‑making process.

At 19 Steps, we help you see the full picture — so you can move forward with confidence, control, and a clear understanding of your options.

Our Services

Business Valuation

Knowing the true value of your business is the foundation of every high-stakes decision. At 19 Steps Business Advisory, we deliver independent, defensible, and commercially grounded valuations for Australian private companies and family enterprises.

Pre Liquidation

When unexpected shocks or rising costs create uncertainty, the biggest challenge is knowing your next move. We provide a structured, 19-step approach to financial distress that prioritizes value protection over liquidation.

Advisory

We help you transform corporate governance from a compliance burden into a competitive advantage. We provide the independent oversight and strategic foresight needed to align your leadership, manage risk, and drive long-term enterprise value.

“19 Steps provided a level of forensic detail which most professionals missed. Their independent report was the key to our successful purchase. Absolute professional integrity.”

Rahul Sharma

Director, Veena Foods

“When we decided to sell our construction business, Navneet gave us a clear picture of what we should expect as a minimum — and made sure we didn’t leave money on the table. He guided us through the entire sale process with confidence and commercial insight. We couldn’t have navigated it without him.”

“When I needed an independent valuation for my chemicals trading business, I wanted someone who could cut through the complexity and give me a number I could actually rely on. The valuation done by Navneet was thorough, commercially grounded, and presented in a way that made sense to me as a business owner. I recommend 19 Steps to any business owner who needs independent, credible valuation advice.”
