Let us help make your M&A deals successful.
Private Companies - Today's private companies are lean. There's no such thing as extra personnel just waiting to work on a merger integration project. Yet this "hot" project won't wait. We work with the Integration Team during the initial integration project phase in small, highly experienced groups and stay involved on a part-time basis for coordination meetings, steering committee meetings or work stream updates.
Public Companies - Although similar to private companies, a unique issue for public companies is that their Board of Directors is accountable to their shareholders for the success of their M&A deals. Too often, due to the failure of M&A activity, Boards are faced with shareholder litigation. By retaining our services to assist in the merger integration, the Boards may be afforded a certain level of protection against litigation by their having taken fiscally prudent proactive steps to assure success.
Senior M&A Professionals
Although our primary focus is in the integration phase, our professionals have years of experience in due diligence and functional area optimization.
While pursuing and integrating new acquisitions, company management must juggle strategy, organization, staffing, systems, and culture, on top of keeping the day-to-day business performing. Our Team of M&A professionals is available to assist on a part-time/full-time basis, especially during due diligence and the critical first 100 days post-close.
Our professionals bring the multi-faceted perspective that comes from extensive direct client-side leadership, acquisition program experience, and experience as third-party consultants. However, unlike the large consulting firms, we do not push the staffing pyramid model where clients pay for inexperienced staff and get cameo appearances by senior talent. Instead, we provide senior professionals directly for our clients’ projects.
Typical Engagement Scenarios
Below are typical scenarios where our senior-level team members may serve as leaders for these due diligence, M&A integration, and corporate optimization projects:
- Merger Integration Leader – PE firm, that is acquiring 2 companies in the professional services industry, is combining them into a newly branded entity.
- Carve-Out Leader – PE firm is acquiring and carving-out a manufactured product division of a Fortune 500 company over a period of 1 year.
- Interim CFO – Portfolio company quickly needs an interim CFO for several months while recruiting and onboarding a permanent CFO.
- Marketing/Sales/Support Segmentation Leader – Growing manufacturing company recognizes that their “one size fits all” approach is not working and needs to segment their customer base for better client results and increased profitability.
- IT and HR Due Diligence Leaders – Company that has been aggressively acquiring private schools for the past 2 years needs analysis of inherited disparate IT and HR systems and development of a cohesive go-forward plan.
- Interim CIO/Cybersecurity Leader – National residential property management company needs interim CIO with cybersecurity focus for rapidly expanding property portfolio.
- ERP Implementation Leader – Established company in the fabric printing industry, positioning itself for sale in 2 years, needs to source and implement an ERP system to replace their “homegrown” version.
- Supply Chain Leader – PE firm evaluating the acquisition of a platform company in the metal fabrication industry needs due diligence assistance evaluating the target's supply chain process since numerous add-ons are anticipated.

PMI Advisors Overview
A brief slide presentation about PMI Advisors and the services provided.
Project:100 Days Methodology
The management of the first 100 days of an M&A integration project is critical, in that the success or failure of the deal is heavily dependent upon actions taken during this brief time period. Our goal is to assist our clients with the professional expertise and management tools that are essential to successfully recognizing the value of their deals.
Workstream Leadership - Staff Augmentation
In addition to our strong project management skills, our Workstream
Leadership Services may be needed at the organizational level to actually perform many of the integration-related tasks, rather than just coordinating them and reporting on their status to company executives.
M&A Integration Playbooks
An M&A Integration Playbook is a project management tool that enables serial acquirers to systematically plan and deliver deals post-closing. Consider it to be a “toolbox” that contains relevant sections that can be selected to address the issues of a particular acquisition.
Carve-Outs & Divestitures
Companies sometimes choose to realign their business models and carve out divisions, subsidiaries or specific business operations. We can provide support throughout the divestiture process in working with our clients to develop carve-out plans to execute a timely separation of the divested business.
