Transaction Advisory

We work with transaction advisory teams involved in financial due diligence, quality of earnings reviews, and broader deal preparation. We identify professionals who understand the pressures of buy-side and sell-side work and who can break down complex data into clear, useful insights. Our focus is on connecting firms with people who can strengthen their transaction capabilities and support both recurring and project-based assignments.

Areas of Focus

Financial Due Diligence (Buy-Side & Sell-Side)

Financial due diligence teams review the underlying financial performance of a business to assess the quality and sustainability of earnings, cash flow, and working capital. Professionals in this area examine historical results, identify trends, highlight anomalies, and assess how performance may change post-transaction. Their work helps buyers understand what they are acquiring and helps sellers prepare for the scrutiny of a deal process. Strong candidates have a disciplined analytical approach, strong accounting knowledge, and the ability to summarise findings in a clear and actionable way.

Quality of Earnings (QoE) Analysis

QoE specialists analyse a company’s earnings to separate recurring, core performance from one-off or non-operational items. This involves detailed work on revenue recognition, margin drivers, cost structures, customer concentration, and the consistency of underlying earnings. Their findings often shape valuation discussions and help both investors and management teams understand the true financial position of the business. Accuracy, commercial judgement, and the ability to communicate complex financial matters in a simple, practical way are essential.

Transaction Readiness & Pre-Deal Preparation

Transaction readiness work helps companies prepare for a sale, investment round, or strategic transaction. This includes reviewing financial statements, assessing reporting quality, identifying gaps in information, and helping management teams anticipate questions from buyers or investors. Professionals in this area provide structure and clarity during what is often a demanding period, ensuring the business is well-prepared for due diligence and investor scrutiny. Their work reduces deal friction and increases confidence on both sides of the transaction.

Post-Transaction Integration Support

Post-transaction advisory focuses on the financial and operational integration required once a deal is completed. This includes aligning reporting processes, reviewing financial controls, analysing performance post-close, and supporting management with changes to systems, teams, or processes. Professionals who excel here understand both financial analysis and practical operational needs. They help create stability, ensure accurate reporting, and support management as the business transitions into its new structure or ownership.
