How we work
Six principles and a four-step process sit behind every mandate.
Start with the decision
We shape every mandate around the decision the client has to make, not a standard methodology.
Evidence first
We read the contracts, rebuild the numbers and speak to the people involved before we form a view. Then we say what the evidence shows, even when it is not what the client hoped to hear.
Senior people do the work
The partner who wins the mandate leads it, from first meeting to final handover.
International standards, local knowledge
Our team trained at leading banks and advisory firms. We bring the same rigour, closer to the client and on their timeline.
Confidential by default
We name a client only with written permission.
Leave the client stronger
We work alongside internal teams and transfer skills as we go.
Four steps. No surprises.
Listen
A free first conversation to understand the decision and the timetable.
Scope
A written proposal setting out the questions to answer, the team, the timeline and the fee.
Deliver
Weekly check-ins, early sight of findings and one partner accountable throughout.
Hand over
A clear written report, agreed next steps with owners and dates, and continued access to the team.
Fees
We work on fixed fees or retainers agreed up front. Transaction mandates may include a success fee.
