Finance leadership through an acquisition
There are real acquisition targets on the table, and the deal now needs senior finance judgement to actually get it done, not just supported from the sidelines.
Acquisitions are won or lost on detail most leadership teams have never had to navigate before: valuation assumptions, diligence red flags, integration planning that starts well before completion. Doing it once, without someone who's done it before, is expensive in ways that only show up after the deal closes.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Finance leadership through an acquisition means senior, experienced finance judgement in the room for due diligence, valuation and integration, not general support around the edges of the deal.

Questions we get asked
At what stage of the acquisition process should we bring this in?
As early as possible: ideally as soon as a target is seriously being considered, not once heads of terms are signed. Early involvement shapes the valuation and diligence approach, rather than just executing a plan that's already set.
Do you help negotiate the deal itself, or just the finance around it?
Both are closely connected. Strong finance leadership through diligence and valuation directly shapes negotiating position. It's not separable from the deal itself.
What happens after the acquisition completes?
Integration planning is part of the engagement, not an afterthought. The finance leadership that got you through the deal stays involved through the early integration period, when most of the real risk actually sits.
