Private equity firms are renowned for their deal discipline—knowing when it makes sense to proceed with an investment and when it's best to walk away. We understand this discriminating mindset and bring analytical rigor, independence, and a vast range of industry and functional expertise to the painstaking work of vetting a prospective buyout target or investment opportunity.

Our deep expertise and global network help us guide clients at all stages of the process. We begin with the investment thesis, which we flesh out and later test by concentrating on the big issues that will determine the deal's ultimate success. We then pair fieldwork—gaining insight into customers, suppliers, and competitors—with our best-in-class ecosystem of alternative data solutions, automation tools, and private equity-specific advanced analytics capabilities to build a proprietary understanding of the investment's true potential.

We build an integrated perspective that enables clients to decide whether to pursue the target, and to bid with confidence. Finally, as part of the due diligence process, we help clients develop an agenda for creating value once the deal is closed.
