The Practice

How we work in this sector.

Most companies reach a point where the decision in front of them is larger than the analytical capability they have in-house. A sale. A recapitalisation. A major capital commitment. A succession question with no obvious answer. The analysis those decisions deserve is not the analysis most management teams have time to build.

This practice provides it. We work as the outsourced corporate finance and strategy function for businesses across sectors — valuation, financial modelling, capital structure advisory, growth and market strategy, operational and margin analysis, and full transaction support on either side of a deal.

Our clients here include single-family and multi-family offices deploying private capital, healthcare and professional practice groups, construction and building materials businesses, manufacturers, distributors, consumer brands, and insurance and financial services companies. The sectors differ; the analytical requirement does not.

If you have a decision that would benefit from an outside view, the conversation costs nothing and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right team for it.

Capabilities

What we deliver.

01

Valuation

Independent business valuations for transactions, shareholder matters, financing processes and board decisions, triangulated across multiple approaches.

02

Financial Modelling

Three-statement models, scenario and sensitivity analysis, unit economics and the forecasting infrastructure a management team can run the business from.

03

Capital Structure Advisory

What the capital structure should look like, what is financeable, and how to prepare for the process — including lender and investor materials. We advise on structure; we do not lend or place capital.

04

Growth & Market Strategy

Market entry, expansion sequencing, competitive positioning and the analysis behind a growth plan that has to survive a board conversation.

05

Value Creation

Operational and margin analysis identifying where earnings are recoverable, with a plan to realise it ahead of a transaction rather than after.

06

Transaction Support

Sell-side and buy-side execution — positioning, counter-party identification, diligence management and negotiation through close.

07

Succession Planning

Multi-year planning for owner-led businesses without an obvious internal buyer, sequencing liquidity, management transition and eventual transfer.

08

Restructuring

Advisory for businesses facing covenant pressure, margin compression or a capital structure that no longer fits.

09

Board & Committee Support

Independent analysis and presentation support for boards weighing a transaction or a set of strategic alternatives.
