Transaction Advisory Services

Your Partner Through Every Transaction

Business owners, family offices, and private equity sponsors trust the abip Transaction Advisory Services team to go beyond the numbers. We deliver institutional-quality diligence — financial, operational, and commercial — with hands-on support through close.

From validating EBITDA to assessing your operational readiness, you get the complete picture before you commit. Experienced professionals, directly engaged, from kickoff to close.

Support at Every Stage

Every transaction has a moment where the right insight changes the outcome. We’ve structured our practice around the capital lifecycle — raise, deploy, optimize, recycle — so you have the right expertise at the right time, whether that’s pressure-testing a deal model, uncovering hidden liabilities, or keeping an integration on track.

Raising Capital

Investors and lenders make decisions based on what the numbers tell them — and how confidently you can defend them. We prepare your financials to withstand scrutiny, normalize EBITDA to reflect true earnings power, and establish valuations you can stand behind. Whether you're approaching banks, private credit, or equity sponsors, you'll enter those conversations ready.

 

Service Offerings:

    • Business Valuation
    • Quality of Earnings
    • Financial Statement Clean-up
    • EBITDA Normalization

Making the Acquisition

The best deals fall apart over surprises that should have been caught. Our buy-side diligence goes beyond the numbers — we validate your investment thesis, stress-test working capital, and identify synergies that actually pencil out. You'll walk into negotiations knowing what the business is really worth and where your leverage sits.

 

Service Offerings:

    • Buy-Side Quality of Earnings
    • Working Capital, Net Debt, and Pro-Forma Adjustments
    • Commercial & Operational Due Diligence
    • Synergy Analysis
    • Deal Assessment & Deal Structure Advisory
    • Transaction Accounting & Closing Assistance
    • Negotiation Support & Fractional Corporate Development Services

Capturing the Value

The deal model promised synergies — now you have to deliver them. We stand up integration management offices, align financial reporting and operations, and drive execution from Day 1 through stabilization. Synergy tracking keeps value capture visible and accountable, turning projections into realized returns. When you need interim leadership to bridge the gap, our fractional CAO and CFO services keep momentum going.

 

Service Offerings:

    • Integration Strategy & PMO
    • Value Capture Tracking & Realization
    • Day 1-90 execution
    • Operating Model Design
    • Fractional CAO/CFO Services

Exiting on Your Terms

Buyers will scrutinize every line — your financials need to hold up. We prepare sell-side diligence packages that anticipate buyer questions, define clean carve-out perimeters, and quantify standalone costs before they become leverage against you.

For complex separations, we design transition service agreements that protect both sides and execute the separation so you capture full value and move on without entanglements.

 

Service Offerings:

    • Sell-side Quality of Earnings
    • Divestiture Strategy
    • Carve-Out Planning
    • Standalone & Stranded Cost Analysis
    • Transition Service Agreement Design
    • Carve-Out Separation Execution
