Post-merger integration
We help private equity backed and mid-market companies integrate without losing focus on customers, colleagues, or cash. Work starts before Day One, stabilises the operation and captures synergies early, so the deal thesis turns into results in the first 100 days and beyond.
Approach overview
We avoid big-bang promises and generic playbooks. Instead, we build a practical, risk-based plan that aligns your people, processes, and systems.
Day-to-day service is protected, decisions are clear, and benefits are tracked with finance. Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) are managed proactively so you will be able to exit cleanly and on time.
Partnering with us
In partnering with us, you’ll always get a simple, bespoke integration plan with all roles fully outlined, an overview of key milestones and a weekly cadence that fits your business. You can expect a clear and simple plan, fast wins, and a governance rhythm that keeps your progress on track. Savings are owned by budget holders, signed off with finance, and reflected directly in your P&L and cash flow.
Day One readiness and stabilisation
We design and execute a flawless Day One plan, ensuring a smooth and predictable transition with no surprises. Our approach guarantees service continuity, clear communication, and robust financial and operational controls. By implementing a clear plan, we stabilise the business immediately, allowing integration efforts to ramp up effectively while the business remains steady.
Synergy case and benefits tracking
We build a bottom-up synergy case and turn it into a delivery plan. Savings and revenue gains are owned by workstream leads, validated with finance, and reported through a simple dashboard. No double counting, just measurable progress against the deal thesis.
Operating model and organisation alignment
We define how the combined business will run: decision rights, roles, handoffs, and core processes. Policies are harmonised, duplications removed and KPIs aligned so teams pull in the same direction and execution speeds up.
Systems and data integration
We set a clear roadmap for systems and data. Interfaces are prioritised, migrations are controlled, and the application landscape is simplified where it makes sense. Master data is cleaned early, and Transition Service Agreements (TSA) dependencies are reduced to enable a tidy exit.
