How It Works

Three steps, one to two weeks

1. Intake call

A short call to understand the deal, timeline and structure. A mutual NDA is signed before any documents are shared.

2. Review

We review your plans, budget, communications and checklists against the seven phases. Typical turnaround is one to two weeks from receiving your documents.

3. Walkthrough

You receive the gap report and scorecard, then a 60 minute call to agree priorities.

What We Look At

Where deals most often have gaps

The review checks each of these, whether your deal is early or close to signing.

✓

Integration planning started early enough

Budget, owners and timeline set before signing, not after.

✓

Diligence findings turned into owned actions

Risks tracked in one log, each with an owner.

✓

Signing to closing plan

Conditions to close, consents, the transition services agreement and the funds flow.

✓

Day 1 operational readiness

Banking, payroll, systems access and customer continuity, not only communications.

✓

One consistent message

Every communication derived from a single approved source.

✓

Post close tracking against the business case

Synergies, KPIs and budget measured, not just activity.

Fixed Fee

$6,500

One review, five deliverables, and a walkthrough call. No retainer and no obligation to continue. If the review shows you need hands-on support, we can scope it together afterward.

Questions

Common questions

Who is this for?

Corporate development teams, private equity operating partners and business owners who are preparing for, or in the middle of, an acquisition and want an independent check of their integration plan.

What if we have not signed yet?

That is the best time. Gaps found before signing can be built into the budget, the agreement and the timeline.

Is our information kept confidential?

Yes. A mutual NDA is signed before any documents are shared, and the review is limited to the people you name.

What do you need from us?

Whatever you already have: the integration plan, budget, communications drafts, Day 1 checklists and deal timeline. Missing documents are noted as gaps.

Do you offer help after the audit?

Yes, if you want it. Support can include running the Integration Management Office, a Day 1 readiness sprint, or ongoing integration leadership.
