The transaction is not the goal.
What comes after it is.
M&A strategy and financial advisory for acquisitions, exits, and transactions where what the deal leads to matters as much as the deal itself.
Where most M&A fall short:
The process gets managed, the outcome doesn’t…
Large consulting firms offer M&A advisory. In theory. In practice, the work is often delegated to junior teams, the financial modelling is surface-level, and the focus is on executing the transaction rather than understanding what it will actually produce.
The mechanics of a deal; the legal process, the due diligence checklist, the term sheets — are well-served by the market. What is less well-served is the strategic financial thinking that should underpin the decision to proceed in the first place.
That gap is where this work sits..
The question is never just whether the deal can be done. It's whether it should be, and what it actually leads to if it is.
Financial clarity at the point of decision.
Every M&A situation is different. The structure of the work reflects that. What remains consistent is the focus: understanding what the transaction leads to, financially and strategically, before it is committed to.
Financial modelling of acquisition or exit scenarios
Assessment of deal structure and its financial implications
Scenario analysis across different transaction assumptions
Stakeholder and business-wide impact assessment
Decision framing; what is actually being chosen between
Senior involvement throughout, no delegation
Acquisitions
What does this target actually deliver? Under which assumptions does the deal work, and where does it break? What are you implicitly committing to beyond the price?
Exits & sales
How is value being positioned? What does the financial narrative look like to a buyer? Where are the vulnerabilities in how the business is currently being presented?
Where we differHands on experience.
Alexander built and owned the complete financial model workload for the $1.2 billion sale of Paragon Bioservices to Catalent Pharmaceuticals along with multiple other M&A projects outside of the trade sale. That experience informs every engagement, regardless of scale.
Considering a transaction and want clarity before you commit?
