Experienced support across the transaction landscape.

We provide a personal, experienced approach that larger firms can't. We act independently on buy-side or sell-side engagements, identify deal-breaking risks early, and manage the target and the process collaboratively. Particularly well-suited to unsophisticated vendors or out-of-the-box circumstances where agility and judgement matter more than headcount.

Well-presented financials move the value needle. A vendor with high-quality, IFRS-compliant, easy-to-analyse information — with one-off items identified and stripped out — is in the strongest position to negotiate a higher multiple. We assist with databook preparation (linking financial performance to KPIs), normalisations, target working capital, data-room pre-population and coordination of diligence responses.

We understand SPA mechanics — target working capital, net debt / net cash and the completion true-up — and prepare or review completion accounts so the mechanism reflects your actual accounting rather than terms drafted against you. We pinpoint where definitions disadvantage you and support the negotiation toward a fairer split of value. We can assist in drafting language to be inserted in the SPA pre execution, or in assisting management to prepare completion accounts in line with SPA requirements.

Given experience across due diligence, debt advisory and insolvency, Sally is an ideal resource for complex analysis, investigations and reports — typically on a white-label basis. An invaluable extension for practitioners without the internal resources to deliver on complex projects, providing peace of mind and senior insight.

Integration is rarely straightforward, and the accounting workstream is usually where complexity surfaces first. We get a newly acquired entity up the sophistication curve: aligning accounting policies to group and IFRS standards, chart-of-accounts mapping, month-end standardisation, robust reconciliations and workpapers — plus forecasts and board reporting packs for forward-looking control from day one.

We design and deliver practical financial training for non-accountants — equipping teams to read financial statements, interpret due diligence findings, and connect the numbers to the decisions and documents that follow. Programs are built around a running deal scenario and a live Excel databook, so participants learn by doing: posting journals, normalising EBITDA, building EV-to-equity bridges and working through completion-accounts mechanics. Every concept ties back to practical application — earn-outs, completion principles and net-debt definitions. Senior-led by a practitioner who runs these deals, our training is practical rather than theoretical, and can be tailored to a firm's academy or in-house team.
