Professional services, where the asset walks out every evening.
Advisory for IT consultancies, service providers, accounting firms and law firms navigating consolidation and succession.
We advise IT consulting and body-shop businesses, managed IT service providers, accounting firms and law firms. Value in these businesses sits in people, client relationships and recurring scope, so structure matters as much as price.
Transactions typically involve earn-outs, retention packages and partner arrangements. We design terms that hold the team together after signing rather than maximising a headline number that never gets paid.

We start with delivery economics: utilisation, bill rates, gross margin by practice, client concentration and the share of revenue that repeats. That analysis drives both the story and the achievable structure.
We prepare the firm before going to market, tightening contracts, reporting and management depth, so diligence confirms the story instead of eroding it.
