Standardizing financial information, especially across a private equity sponsor’s platform and add-on acquisitions, is key to measuring performance and creating value.
A key finance function of most large global companies, financial planning and analysis (FP&A) is a complex, skill-intensive discipline. With business integrations, carve-outs, and add-ons, disparate reporting systems and accounting software complicate the process further.
Our FP&A teams bring financial expertise and industry experience to businesses undergoing an M&A transition. We’re able to methodically and thoughtfully analyze operational and financial data, pressure-test and scrutinize it, then provide realistic forecasts of the upside and downside of an opportunity.
Our background in private equity and investment banking give us unique perspective on financial reporting expectations
Working with a business’ available financial data, we’re able to make reporting repeatable, standardized, and impactful — key to efficiency and accuracy. With standardized financial data, opportunities for growth open up because the business’ reporting is at the level expected by a sponsor’s investment committee and lenders.
The outcomes of our FP&A engagements include:
Each of our engagements is tailored to the sponsor’s expectations, and we enter with a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished and how we’ll get there. Whether on the buy- or sell-side of an M&A deal, we rapidly identify and execute on FP&A solutions so sponsors can meet their investment goals.
Evaluating the financial details of a deal — from thoughtful and robust financial due diligence to financial modeling and navigation of capital markets — is key to shining light on an opportunity. Our M&A transaction services help with the granular financial details so our clients can close more deals.
The post-close transition of a business is a sensitive and critical period in the investment lifecycle. Our M&A transition services can help ensure continuity and implementation with minimal disruption, especially in the finance department.
Significant change means development but can also introduce risk. Our M&A transformation services help to develop and execute thoughtful strategies that preserve underwritten value while simultaneously de-risking change and creating enterprise value.
