Mergers, Acquisitions & Transactions
When value is being created, transferred or tested, the numbers have to be right and the risks visible. We support mergers, acquisitions and divestitures end to end, financial due diligence that surfaces what matters, independent valuations grounded in accepted methodology, and hands-on structuring support through to close.
For companies heading to the capital markets, we help prepare: restating where needed, closing control gaps, and readying financial statements and disclosures to the standard the market and regulators will expect.

02Normalised working capital
A definition not agreed up front becomes a dispute after closing.
03Preparation time
For an IPO, 18–24 months before the target listing date is a healthy runway.
