Advisory Service

Merger & Acquisition

Due diligence and deal structuring that protects what you're actually buying, or selling.

What This Is

Support on both sides of the table

A transaction is only as good as the diligence behind it. We work buy-side and sell-side, surfacing the financial and tax risks that matter while there's still time for them to shape the terms — not after signing, when it's too late to do anything but argue.

We stay involved past closing too, because the value of a deal is often decided in the first few months of integration, not the negotiation itself.

Is This You?

What good diligence actually changes

Without M&A advisory

  • Deal terms agreed before financial and tax risks are fully understood
  • Due diligence done too late, or too lightly, to change anything
  • Post-merger surprises that quietly erode the value of the deal
  • Structuring decided by whichever side's team moved fastest

With M&A advisory

  • Risks surfaced during diligence, while they can still shape the terms
  • A structure chosen for tax efficiency and post-deal simplicity
  • An integration plan ready before the deal even closes
  • Numbers both sides trust going into negotiation
Where We Help

Four ways we support a transaction

Financial due diligence

Independent review of the target's financials before you commit to a number.

Deal structuring

Structuring the transaction for tax efficiency and post-deal simplicity.

Valuation & negotiation support

Independent valuation input to ground the negotiation in facts, not just posturing.

Post-merger integration

Bringing finance, controls and reporting together after the deal closes.

How We Engage

Four phases, from screening to integration

We work the full lifecycle, not just the diligence window.

01

Screen

Assess the opportunity and flag deal-breakers early, before real cost is sunk.

02

Diligence

Independently verify the financial and tax position of the target.

03

Structure

Design the transaction structure and support negotiation.

04

Integrate

Help bring finance and controls together after closing.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you work on both buy-side and sell-side?

Yes — the diligence discipline and structuring considerations differ, and we work both.

How long does due diligence typically take?

Usually 3 to 6 weeks within the broader engagement, depending on the size and complexity of the target.

Do you help negotiate the deal itself?

We support the negotiation with numbers and structuring input; legal negotiation is handled alongside your counsel.

What size of transactions do you support?

SME to mid-market transactions are our core focus.

Can you help after the deal closes?

Yes — post-merger integration is part of the engagement, not a separate afterthought.
