A Reputation for M&A Prowess

Many acquisitions fail to live up to the purchaser’s expectations – a painful realization considering all the time, money, and people involved.

“The M&A Advisor” recognized our consistent and successful results by naming Crowe Chizek and Company LLC Accounting Firm of the Year in 2005 for the third year in a row. We participate in transactions around the world and are known for our expertise in the middle market. While committed to this market, we also advise strategic acquirers on deals considered to be above the middle market range.

We staff our engagements with M&A executives, project managers, and support staff, all of whom understand a wide spectrum of business and tax issues. They are supported by industry experts and specialists – operations, IT, sales and marketing, and employee benefits – as needed. Our professionals have at least five to more than 20 years of experience in M&A.

We begin by understanding your transaction goals, and conduct due diligence to uncover any issues – including “deal killers” and to identify integration or “takeover” opportunities. Next, we work with you on deal structure and valuation. As part of post-acquisition integration, we create a comprehensive plan of what needs to be achieved by 30 days, 90 days, and one year after the deal, increasing your chances of long-term integration success.

While many other firms are “transaction-driven,” we are interested in building long-term relationships. To work with a respected, award-winning M&A leader, call Crowe.
