Home / Services / M&A Support

M&A support with your interests at the center.

Buy-side and sell-side analysis, due-diligence preparation, quality-of-earnings support, and deal modeling. The deal team works for the deal; we work for you.

Buy-side

  • Target analysis. Financial statement quality review, earnings normalization, working-capital and debt analysis — what the business actually earns, not what the teaser says.
  • Deal modeling. Purchase price scenarios, financing structures, returns analysis, and the covenant headroom you’ll live with afterward.
  • Financing the acquisition. This is where our lending background compounds: acquisition debt packaged and placed by someone who used to approve it.
  • Diligence management. Request lists, data-room review, findings memos, and the discipline to walk away when the numbers say walk.

Sell-side

  • Pre-diligence. Your own numbers examined the way the buyer’s team will examine them — findings fixed before they become price reductions. (Ideally this starts as exit preparation.)
  • Quality-of-earnings support. Schedules, add-back documentation, and revenue analyses assembled to withstand a professional QoE review.
  • Process support. Data-room management, buyer question handling, and working-capital peg negotiation support alongside your broker and counsel.

How we charge

M&A support is typically project-based or folds into an existing retainer. For the right long-term partnership, we’ll consider equity participation. We are not a broker-dealer and do not sell securities; we provide financial advisory and consulting services alongside your licensed transaction professionals.

Frequently asked questions

Do you replace a quality-of-earnings firm?

No — a buyer’s lender may require an independent QoE. We prepare you for it (sell-side) or interpret it (buy-side), and we make sure its findings don’t surprise you.

How early should we involve you in an acquisition?

Before the LOI. Structure and price get locked early; analysis after the fact can only confirm or regret them.

Every deal has two stories.

The one in the pitch deck, and the one in the numbers. We read the second one for you.
