The Challenge

Deals Don’t Fail in the Boardroom — They Fail in Execution

Mergers and acquisitions drive growth — but without clear financial alignment before and after close, deals can quickly lose value. Each acquisition introduces new systems, structures, and people, and without a well-defined integration roadmap, finance operations can become a drain on both time and valuation.

KEY CHALLENGES:

  • Limited finance due diligence and hidden exposures pre-close

  • Valuation assumptions disconnected from financial reality

  • Poorly structured TSAs that erode post-close value

  • Fragmented systems and inconsistent COAs across entities

  • Redundant roles and unclear accountability

  • Missed synergy targets due to lack of integration planning

The Ellevate Method in Action

A Proven Framework for Finance-Led M&A Success

We bring clarity, control, and confidence to every stage of the deal — aligning people, process, and systems from pre-close diligence to post-close integration. Our approach transforms reactive integrations into structured, repeatable value creation. 

The 5 Steps in the Ellevate Method:

1.Connect: Align deal, finance, and leadership teams on value drivers and success metrics.

2. Discover: Conduct pre-close financial and operational due diligence to identify risk and readiness gaps.

3.Roadmap: Design a unified 30/60/100-day integration plan, linking valuation assumptions to execution.

4. Integrate: Standardize hierarchies, systems, and COAs, and operationalize TSA exit and ownership.

5. Measure: Track synergy capture, post-close KPIs, and long-term performance.
