Common Questions from Corporate Buyers & PE Sponsors
How do you work with our existing advisors (Big 4, bankers, internal teams)?
We complement, not replace. You keep your Big 4 for financial, tax, and commercial Due Diligence. We own the integration spine: technology, data, TSAs, Day 1 execution, and synergy tracking. We're fluent in Big 4 methodologies, plugging in seamlessly alongside firms like McKinsey, Strategy&, PwC, BCG, EY, Deloitte, and KPMG. Our job is to strengthen the integration, not re-architect your advisory structure.
What if we're not sure we need full integration support?
Start with a 2-week PMI Diagnostic Sprint (US$15-25k). We'll stress-test your Day-1 plan, surface risks and quick wins, and give you a clear roadmap with no obligation to continue. Many clients start here to test if we fit their deal, get immediate value, and make an informed decision about next steps. It's a low-risk approach to gauge our impact.
Do you work white-label or co-branded?
Your choice. If you're a Big 4 partner or boutique advisory firm, we can be invisible (white-label); your client relationship remains yours, and we function as the delivery engine. If you're a corporate buyer, we're happy to be visible and own the integration workstreams directly. We adapt our visibility to best suit your specific situation and preference.
How quickly can you mobilise?
Fast. From first call to embedded IMO: 2-4 weeks. From diagnostic to Day 1 plan: 4-6 weeks. We're built for deal reality, not extended consultant timelines. Expect no long sales cycles, 6-month onboarding, or ramping up junior teams. Our practitioners can start Monday if the deal demands immediate, hands-on expertise.
What size deals do you typically work on?
We focus on £50m-£2bn+ enterprise value deals where the integration spine (tech, data, TSAs, carve-out) is complex enough to demand specialized expertise. This includes mid-market PE roll-ups, corporate bolt-ons, and complex carve-outs. Our sweet spot is where you need practitioner-led execution without the overhead of larger firms, balancing complexity with cost-effectiveness.
