Private Equity
If you have been in the business long enough, you know that every merger and acquisition comes with its own set of challenges. Private Equity firms need a partner that understand this challenge and have developed an approach to navigate the complexities. The team at Stonehill takes an operator’s approach to integration and work to align investment teams, operating partners, and portco management.
We begin by creating a strategy and roadmap for success. We focus on identifying value-creation levers, synergistic cost savings, and foundational enablers. These initiatives become the foundation for developing an integration roadmap comprised of individual project charters and tasks. The charters are paired with financial modeling and KPI identification helping to build a scorecard that quantitively tracks leading and lagging indicators that align with the definition of a successful transaction.
Stonehill is unique in that we not only manage integration but we also provide specialized services that bridge skill gaps and bandwidth issues, completing various tactics including FP&A, Process, BI, Cyber, and analyst-level duties. We mitigate risk, make portco management successful and allow our private equity partners to focus on driving impact and creating more investment opportunities. We leverage Design Thinking in all of our engagements to ensure our solutions are human-centric and accepted by large teams.

Mergers and Acquisitions can bring value, but the firms must be integrated to achieve the desired returns. Stonehill provides IMO services and leads enterprise wide integration projects. We ensure that key stakeholders are planning work, executing towards a common goal, and are communicating progress. Our IMO services accelerate value creation while reducing enterprise risk.

M&A activity is both a growth and change agent. As integration happens, communication becomes more important. The team at Stonehill understands this and provides strategic communication and change management services to reduce risk while increasing brand equity.
