Beyond due diligence, we craft robust deal strategies that align with long-term objectives, ensuring that every transaction is a strategic step toward growth and transformation.
By partnering with us, clients gain not just a deeper understanding of their targets but also a roadmap for realising maximum value from their deals. With our guidance, your next deal can deliver sustainable success
The Investment Management Office (IMO) is a specialised service offering designed to support organisations in complex mergers and acquisitions (M&A) processes. Unlike traditional investment or financial advisory services, the IMO focuses exclusively on project management, operational coordination, and strategic execution of activities necessary for the success of both buy-side and sell-side transactions.
This includes developing and implementing robust integration plans post-acquisition, divestment, or separation plans post-sale, ensuring value is preserved and maximised throughout the M&A lifecycle.
Our core services include:
Buy-Side M&A Support: The IMO provides comprehensive project management services to guide organisations through the buy-side of M&A transactions.
Due Diligence Support: Coordinating due diligence activities across functions, ensuring thorough analysis of risks and opportunities.
Sell-Side M&A Support: The IMO assists organisations in navigating the sell-side of transactions by ensuring smooth transitions and preparing for operational shifts post-sale.
Separation Planning: Designing detailed plans to separate assets, operations, and teams in alignment with the transaction’s terms.
Post-Transaction Support: The IMO extends its expertise to ensure seamless continuity following a transaction.
Our Post-Merger Integration (PMI) services are designed to ensure your M&A deal achieves its full potential. With more than half of mergers and acquisitions failing to deliver the expected value, we recognise that integration is often where deals fall short. Combining two organisations—each with unique processes, structures, cultures, and leadership—is a deeply intricate challenge.
Our approach focuses on turning complexity into clarity. We work closely with clients to develop and execute tailored integration strategies that align with their deal objectives. From harmonising operations and cultures to capturing synergies and managing risks, ourexperienced team leverages proven methodologies and digital tools to streamline the integration process.
By addressing potential pitfalls early and fostering alignment across all levels of the organisation, we help our clients realise the transformative value their deal was designed to deliver.
We support clients by leveraging our proprietary IMO toolkit – “SynergyNav” to navigate through the hundreds of decisions they face during an integration. We employ these tools to manage the complexity and ensure that every integration captures its intended value:
1. Synergy builder / tracker supports in defining potential synergies, setting targets for each and tracking their progress through the implementation
2. Operating model builder is used to design and implement the right operating model for the merged entity. This can be used at scale (full corporate level) or at individual function level (finance, HR, sales, etc)
3. Our Day One checklist provides a comprehensive list of priorities by function to ensure business continuity throughout the integration.
4. We use the Integration hub to track, consolidate and coordinate the many integration workstreams and activities—an essential tool for the integration management office.
We understand that divestitures and carve-outs, though counterintuitive to growth, can unlock significant value when managed strategically. Companies often thrive not just by expanding, but by refining their focus and shedding non-core assets. Our Divestitures and Carve-Out Management services are designed to ensure these transitions create value for both the parent company and the divested entity.
From building a compelling case for divestiture to executing seamless carve-outs, we bring deep strategic and financial expertise to every stage of the process. Our team works collaboratively to define clear objectives, structure efficient processes, and mitigate risks, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum value capture. Leveraging proven methodologies and advanced digital tools, we help clients unlock hidden opportunities, streamline operations, and position both entities for sustained success. With us, divestitures become a strategic lever for growth and transformation.
