What Do We Offer

End-To-End M&A Support

Pre-LOI Report

Expert pre-due diligence, conducted before signing the Letter of Intent (LOI), is a crucial step in ensuring a successful merger or acquisition. We thoroughly investigate and evaluate potential partners for alignment with your organization's goals, understanding their business model to assess operational compatibility, and examining proposed terms to ensure they pave the way for a fruitful collaboration.

Financial Due Diligence / QofE Report

We expertly examine a target business’s financial statements, debts, cash flow, and other financial metrics to give you a full picture of its financial health and the risks involved. Our QofE report analyzes historical earnings for future projections, examines net income for a true reflection of financial stability, and assesses revenue sources for their nature and sustainability.

Accounting & Finance Support

Subsequent accounting and finance support ensures thorough integration of systems to ensure operational efficiency and proper handling of finances. Our comprehensive services range from routine bookkeeping to a fully managed finance function, allowing you to concentrate on driving success while we meticulously oversee the financial health and performance of your newly expanded business.
