Challenge

The buyer needed clarity on normalized earnings, working capital targets, and post-close synergy timing across two jurisdictions.

Regulatory and tax structuring choices would materially affect cash repatriation and integration costs.

Approach

We coordinated financial due diligence, quality of earnings, and tax modeling with integration planning from day one.

Day-one finance and treasury operating models were defined before signing to reduce ambiguity at close.

Results

Tax structuring and operational alignment unlocked approximately $4.2M in identifiable savings.

Integration milestones were achieved on a timeline roughly 40% faster than the client’s prior benchmark programs.

Client takeaway

Cross-border deals succeed when diligence outputs directly feed the first 100-day integration plan.
