M&A Advisory Strategy That Builds More Than Just the Deal
A successful M&A strategy starts well before due diligence—and continues long after the ink is dry. At FAFB, we don’t just help you close deals. We help you make the right ones. Whether you’re evaluating an acquisition, preparing for sale, or managing a complex merger, we work alongside you to shape the strategy, uncover risks, and build the financial roadmap that turns opportunity into long-term value.
No templates. No shortcuts. Just focused, finance-driven advisory built for your business.
Tailored Strategy That Starts Before the Deal
Every transaction we support starts with a simple question: Does this move actually make sense for your business? From there, we help you define what success looks like—whether it’s scale, efficiency, exit, or something more nuanced.
We partner with you early to assess strategic fit, weigh potential synergies, and flag risks that might not show up on a spreadsheet. Our role is to help you look beyond the surface and structure deals that are aligned with your goals, not just market norms. It’s not about doing the deal—it’s about doing the right deal.
Financial Modeling with Operational Teeth
We don’t hand you a spreadsheet and call it strategy. Our models are built to reflect how your business—and the deal—actually work. That means factoring in operational realities, not just line-item projections. We pressure-test assumptions, model best- and worst-case scenarios, and map out what success really looks like post-close.
Whether you’re buying or selling, our financial modeling helps you make smart, defensible decisions in the boardroom. We translate financial complexity into clear insight—so you’re not just looking at numbers, you’re looking at a plan you can lead with.
M&A Due Diligence That Prioritizes Clarity Over Clutter
We approach diligence with one goal: give you a clear, honest view of what you’re stepping into. On the buy side, we verify the fundamentals (EBITDA, working capital, recurring revenue) but also dig deeper into risks, dependencies, and operational blind spots. On the sell side, we get your house in order before the spotlight hits, from tightening financials to anticipating tough questions.
Our process strips out the noise and zeroes in on what matters. No fluff. No wasted motion. Just clean, decision-ready insight.
Driving Alignment Across Deal Stakeholders
Even the best deal strategy can fall apart without the right people rowing in the same direction. We help bring alignment across all corners of the transaction—finance, legal, tax, and operations—so you’re not untangling crossed wires midstream.
Our role is to make sure key players stay connected, informed, and focused on the same outcomes. That coordination doesn’t just reduce headaches—it saves time, protects value, and helps your deal actually deliver.
Integration Planning That Starts Early
Integration isn’t a cleanup task. It’s part of the deal, and it should be treated that way from day one. We help you start building the post-close roadmap while the deal is still on the table, laying out clear priorities for systems, teams, and reporting structures.
From day-one readiness to longer-term financial consolidation, we help ensure the combined entity performs like it was always meant to. You won’t be scrambling to catch up; we’ll have you several steps ahead.
Let’s Build the Right Deal, Not Just “A Deal”
