WHAT WE DO

Our experience and worldwide network allow us to help clients quickly develop an accurate assessment of key industry performance issues, including cash flow drivers, relevant market and customer benchmarks and exit options. In addition to external assessment, as timing and protocol allow, we also conduct a thorough internal one, interviewing the target company's management, as well as reviewing its customer base, personnel and operations.Investors and corporate executives are recognizing that successful transactions only start with a full understanding of historical results and an evaluation of projected financial information. Unfortunately, post-deal operating issues have a way of disrupting even the best-laid plans. To maximize returns, a company must drive forward and improve operations - unlocking value, seizing opportunities, minimizing risks and maximizing the efficiency of cash flow throughout the investment lifecycle.

Our operational Due Diligence professionals assist our clients in analyzing functional and departmental processes, including manufacturing operations, supply chain and distribution channels, procurement and supply, information technology, and back-office operations such as finance, accounting, and human resources.  From our thorough fact-based analysis, we identify and quantify potential EBITDA adjustments and working capital risks and opportunities to create Day One and First 100 Day plans followed by hands-on performance improvement.  Our integrated Operational and Financial Due Diligence teams work seamlessly to construct a holistic view of the transaction opportunity.

This comprehensive operational due diligence methodology and toolkit provides deep insight into the following investment considerations:

• Gaining a comprehensive understanding of a target's operations and its risks, including the cost.

• Identifying performance gaps and potential improvement opportunities (e.g., cost reduction and/or revenue enhancement)

• Assessing potential carve-out issues and associated costs

• Identifying and/or challenging potential synergies

• Providing insights on key deal issues – including quantifying key opportunities and risks

We help clients flesh out their investment thesis of how a proposed deal will make money. We then work with clients to test the investment thesis by concentrating on the big issues that will determine the deal's ultimate success. Taking an "outside-in" approach, we combine fieldwork interviewing customers, suppliers and competitors with sophisticated financial analysis to build a proprietary understanding of the investment's true cash flow potential.Finally, as part of the due diligence process, we help clients develop an agenda for creating value once the deal is closed.

Our team can support all stages of this process, including presentation of letters of intent, provision of objective, third-party business analysis to enable financing and the generation of enthusiasm for the deal within the target company.
