What we do

Two disciplines. Four services.

Transaction advisory covers the numbers, the terms, and the finance function underneath them. M&A advisory gets you to the right counterparty, at the right time, on the right terms. We do both, so nothing is lost in the handover.

Transaction Advisory

The financial and commercial groundwork that underpins a well-run deal — and the finance function that supports it before and after.

Financial due diligence

TA / 01

Independent review of quality of earnings, working capital and net debt for buyers and lenders.

SPA & completion support

TA / 02

Completion accounts, locked-box mechanics and working capital negotiation through to signing.

Accounting & financial reporting

TA / 03

Statutory accounts, technical accounting and management reporting under UK GAAP or IFRS.

Office of the CFO advisory

Sell-side advisory

Buy-side advisory

An independent view on sale, succession, merger or continued ownership, before a process begins.

How a mandate runs

From first conversation to completion.

1

Origination & positioning

We understand the business, agree objectives, and build the narrative a counterparty needs to hear.

2

Structuring & preparation

Financial information, materials and diligence are prepared before a single conversation starts.

3

Negotiation & diligence

We run the process, manage competitive tension, and hold terms together as diligence unfolds.

4

Completion
