We help accountancy firms find, evaluate, and complete the right acquisition then make sure it delivers value long after the deal is done. From target selection to integration, clarity beats chaos.
Before working with us, firms often struggle with:
If that sounds familiar, you’re not the problem; your strategy is. We help you make acquisitions predictable, profitable, and sustainable.
No fluff. No guesswork. Just a practical, proven approach to buying and scaling.
We make buying a firm predictable, strategic, and commercially sensible, from first contact to completion and beyond.
We help you identify, assess, and engage firms that match your ideal acquisition profile, so you only pursue deals that truly fit.
We get both sides ready before the first meaningful interaction. That means preparing your team, briefing the seller, gathering key documents and ensuring everyone knows what’s expected, so conversations start strong.
We facilitate meetings as required between buyer and seller keeping momentum, guiding the conversation, and stepping in where needed to keep the process moving.
We act as the independent adviser: helping both parties land on the real worth of the business, not just a hoped‑for price. Our goal is a fair, defensible valuation and a negotiated deal that works for both sides.
We’re with you throughout the entire acquisition lifecycle: advising, troubleshooting, brainstorming, supporting tough conversations, and helping you stay confident every step of the way.
We link you to the right lending partners: legal teams, tax advisers and other specialists to make sure you can fund and complete the deal properly, without you having to seek them out yourself.
We advise on how to manage the transition: keeping clients happy, minimising churn, aligning teams, and handing over work without disruption.
As the deal gets over the line: we support final queries, manage last‑minute issues, and facilitate the process to ensure clean execution and a confident handover.
We help you move clients, data, systems and processes smoothly, keeping service levels high and churn low.
You’ve got two clear options, and we’ll help you pick the right one based on your deal size, timeline, and structure.
Lower success fee, fixed monthly support. Ideal for firms planning multiple acquisitions or more complex deals over time.
No upfront cost, higher fee upon deal completion. Best for one-off acquisitions or firms that prefer a results-only structure.
Take the assessment, get clear on what’s working, what’s not, and what we should do next.
Absolutely. We work alongside your current advisers (legal, tax, broking, etc.) to fill the gaps in strategy, due diligence, valuation, and integration planning. We don’t have to replace them; we make the whole process tighter and more predictable.
Nope. We work on a fixed-term project basis aligned to your acquisition timeline. No unnecessary tie-ins, just clear scope, fixed fees, and support that sticks through to completion.
We expand the search beyond brokers and loops, using criteria you control from market, size, service, culture, price range, then we shortlist, qualify and prioritise the right fits.
We go beyond spreadsheets. We assess cash flow quality, client revenue stickiness, team capability, tech fit, pricing structure, supplier/client risk, and cultural alignment, all evidence before you commit.
That is completely up to you. Our process is built for first‑timers and repeat buyers alike. We give you frameworks, support and guidance at every step.
Often within days. We begin with a discovery call, then priority setting, target criteria and pipeline planning. Real traction starts fast, but structured progress delivers secure deals.
