M&A Strategy & Due Diligence

Every successful transaction starts with a clear strategy and a complete understanding of what’s being acquired - the value, the risks, and the opportunities. Stonehill helps clients make smarter, faster, and more informed M&A decisions through rigorous due diligence and strategic foresight.

Our approach combines financial, operational, and cultural analysis to ensure that every acquisition supports long-term growth and strategic fit. We don’t just evaluate what the company is…we assess what it could be under your ownership.

Our Approach

• Strategic Alignment: We help define the “why” behind the deal - ensuring every potential acquisition supports your mission, vision, and growth objectives.

• Operational & Financial Assessment: Our team conducts deep analysis of processes, performance, and scalability to validate value creation assumptions.

• Cultural & Leadership Evaluation: We look beyond the balance sheet to assess cultural compatibility, leadership alignment, and organizational readiness.

• Integration Planning Readiness: We identify early integration considerations - highlighting synergies, risks, and quick wins to accelerate post-close execution.
