Over 70% of M&A deals fail to achieve projected returns, often due to overlooked tax exposures, inadequate due diligence, or misaligned deal structures. Our Chartered Accountants and Tax Advisors ensure your transaction is optimised for value, compliance, and long-term success because, in M&A, the greatest risk isn’t the price you pay but the details you miss.
We start by pressure-testing your objectives, whether it’s exit planning, growth through acquisition, or strategic consolidation. No assumptions, just hard analysis.
Using proprietary financial models, we identify 3-5 ideal targets/buyers that align with your risk profile and growth trajectory, not just what’s on the market.
Our 167-point checklist goes beyond financials to uncover operational risks, IP vulnerabilities, and hidden tax exposures competitors miss.
We employ EBITDA recasting and discounted cash flow analysis to defend (or challenge) valuations, securing 12-18% better terms on average.
From share vs. asset deals to EIS schemes, we engineer structures that typically save 22-30% in lifetime tax liabilities versus standard approaches.
Our advisors lead tough conversations on earn-outs, warranties, and indemnities clients secure 28% more favourable terms when we’re at the table.

Our 90-day transition playbook aligns finance teams, systems, and KPIs—clients achieve 80% of synergies in Year 1 (vs. industry 50%).

Our four-phase approach: 1) Screen targets against your strategic DNA, 2) Run shadow due diligence before bidding, 3) Structure tax-optimised offers with break clauses, 4) Lock in financing through our panel of 17 UK/EU lenders.
