myCFO - outsourced finance leadership

Due diligence and M&A support to buy or sell with clear numbers

We analyze the company you are about to buy, or get yours ready to sell, with the experience of having sat on both sides of the table.

What the due diligence and M&A service includes

We work for buyers and for sellers, with a scope sized to the transaction.

Financial due diligence

We review quality of earnings, net debt, normalized working capital and hidden liabilities at the target, with a findings report that bears directly on price.

Vendor due diligence

If you are selling, we review your accounts before the buyer does, fix what erodes value and prepare answers to the questions that will come.

Valuation

We value the business using discounted cash flows and comparable multiples, explain the range and show which levers move it up or down.

Data room and documents

We organize the data room, the information memorandum and the financial model so the process moves without surprises or missed deadlines.

Negotiation support

We support you on the letter of intent, price adjustments for debt and working capital, earn-outs and the financial review of the purchase agreement alongside your counsel.

Post-closing integration

We design the first 100 days: unified reporting, cash management, finance team and synergies that can actually be measured.

Who this service is for

Business owners about to buy a competitor, a supplier or a company in another market who want to know what they are buying before they sign. And owners who receive an offer and need to know whether the price is reasonable.

Also partners preparing a sale one or two years ahead, funds and family offices that need a local team in Spain or the US, and groups integrating a recent acquisition.

We have bought and sold companies. We know where problems hide.

How we work a transaction

Discretion, a fixed calendar and a team that has been through these processes in investment banking and private equity.

What you receive in a transaction

Documents built for deciding and negotiating, not for filling binders.

Frequently asked questions

Do you also handle legal, tax and employment due diligence?

We do the financial work and coordinate the rest. We work with the attorneys and tax advisors you already have, or introduce firms we have closed deals with. The result is one integrated risk report and a single point of contact who explains what each finding means for the price.

How long does financial due diligence take?

For an SME with organized information, three to five weeks from data room access. If the books are behind, there are several entities or the company operates in several countries, it takes longer. We agree on the timeline with both sides up front and flag anything that could delay it as soon as we see it.

Can you help me sell my company from start to finish?

Yes. We prepare the company ahead of time, value it, build the information memorandum and the data room, and support the negotiation. For the buyer search we work with M&A advisors and investment banks that specialize in your sector, or with your own network, depending on the size and confidentiality the process requires.

Do you work on deals between the US and Spain?

Yes. We support Spanish companies buying in the US or Mexico and US groups acquiring in Spain or elsewhere in Europe. We know the differences between Spanish GAAP and US GAAP on issues that affect price, such as revenue recognition or leases, and we coordinate with the CPA and counsel in each country.
