The Hidden Cost of Incomplete Due Diligence
Industry reality: 70% of M&A deals fail to deliver expected value — not because of bad strategy, but because critical operational risks were never identified.
Standard financial due diligence checks historical statements. We reverse-engineer your investment thesis, testing whether operational reality supports your IRR assumptions.

Proof: Deals We've Saved
Real transactions. Real savings. Real impact. See how our due diligence uncovered critical issues that traditional audits missed—protecting millions and improving deal outcomes.
Case 1: Industrial Distribution Rollup
Deal profile: $85M revenue distributor acquisition by PE-backed platform
Our discovery:
- 30% of inventory obsolete or slow-moving (management called it “within normal range”)
- ERP system completely incompatible—full replacement required, not integration
- 22% of revenue concentrated in single customer whose contract was expiring in 8 months
- Procurement “synergies” depended on supplier contracts with change-of-control clauses
Financial impact:
- $11M price reduction negotiated based on inventory write-down and integration costs
- $3.2M integration budget increase (avoided being blindsided post-close)
- Customer retention plan developed before closing to prevent revenue cliff
Outcome: Deal closed at 28% IRR instead of projected 19% at original price. Client avoided what would have been a value-destroying transaction.
Case 2: Healthcare Services Acquisition
Deal profile: $125M healthcare services provider acquisition
Our healthcare due diligence services discovery:
- Reimbursement rates from top payer were 18 months into 3-year contract—renegotiation upcoming with anticipated 12-15% rate pressure
- State licensing violations at 3 of 12 facilities (correctable, but required immediate investment)
- Electronic health record system end-of-life in 14 months—vendor discontinuing support
- 40% of EBITDA growth came from temporary COVID-era telehealth revenue already declining
Financial impact:
- $14M price reduction reflecting reimbursement risk and technology replacement
- Compliance remediation plan established pre-close
- Adjusted EBITDA normalized for telehealth revenue decline
Outcome: Deal closed with clear risk mitigation roadmap. Buyer avoided regulatory surprises and technology crisis 14 months post-acquisition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about our services, methods, processes, and how we help companies reduce internal risks and prevent crises.
How long does due diligence take?
Typical engagement timeline: 4–6 weeks for comprehensive financial, operational, commercial, and IT due diligence services.
Rush engagements available in 2–3 weeks for competitive auction processes where speed matters.
Timeline depends on deal complexity, target company size, data room readiness, and management accessibility.
What deal sizes do you work with?
Our sweet spot: $20M–$500M transaction value
We’ve successfully supported deals from $10M (lower middle market) to $800M (upper middle market) across manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and business services.
Below $10M, our comprehensive approach may be cost-prohibitive. Above $800M, Big 4 firms typically have mandates from institutional investors.
What if you find major issues during due diligence?
Our role is to illuminate risks and quantify their impact—not to kill deals.
We provide decision frameworks across three scenarios:
- Issues justifying price adjustment (quantified impact on valuation)
- Risks requiring mitigation plans post-close (with specific action steps)
- Red flags suggesting walk-away (when operational reality can’t support investment thesis)
You make the final decision. We provide the intelligence to make it confidently.
Real stat: 60% of deals we work on proceed to closing after our diligence—often at adjusted prices or with better integration plans.
Can you support post-close integration?
Yes. 60% of our clients retain us for first 100 days integration support.
We leverage findings from the diligence phase to:
- Prioritize quick wins and risk mitigation
- Validate synergy capture against our pre-close models
- Troubleshoot operational issues that surface post-close
- Accelerate time to first value capture
Integration support is optional but highly effective when the team that found the risks helps solve them.
