Transaction Advisory Services

Introduction

Complex transactions require clarity, precision, and strategic foresight. At Singapore Accountants, we support businesses during critical inflection points, from mergers and acquisitions to restructurings and exits by delivering transaction-critical insights. Our goal is to ensure every decision is grounded in rigorous financial analysis, operational alignment, and long-term value creation.

Core Service Offerings

Our transaction advisory services span the full deal lifecycle, with tailored solutions to match the scale and complexity of each transaction.

Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Advisory

Support in M&A transactions focuses on aligning strategic objectives with execution clarity. This includes evaluating transaction rationale, screening potential targets or buyers, and coordinating deal phases to reduce execution risk. Commercial fit, market position, and potential synergies are analyzed alongside financial and operational indicators.

Financial
Due Diligence

Financial due diligence involves a structured review of historical and forecasted performance. Emphasis is placed on revenue quality, earnings normalization, working capital trends, and underlying risks. The process supports valuation assessment, negotiation positioning, and post-deal financial integration planning.

Financial Modeling &
Economics

Transaction models are designed to support scenario planning, investment return assessment, and sensitivity analysis. These include integrated financial statements, cash flow forecasts, and cap table simulations. Modeling frameworks are calibrated to reflect deal-specific assumptions and investor requirements.

Deal Structuring, Restructuring
& Turnaround

This service line includes support for structuring transactions, assessing restructuring pathways, and stabilizing distressed businesses. Consideration is given to liquidity constraints, counterparty priorities, and regulatory implications. For turnaround scenarios, diagnostic reviews and tactical interventions are mapped to financial recovery plans.

Exit Planning (Divestitures and Carve-outs)

Exit planning includes the preparation of business units for sale, development of standalone financials, and separation protocols. Engagements address transitional arrangements, data room readiness, and vendor due diligence. The aim is to ensure a clean transaction perimeter and a clear buyer narrative.

Post-Merger Integration & Separation Advisory

Integration and separation support focuses on operational continuity, systems transition, and organizational alignment. This includes the design of integration/separation workstreams, synergy tracking mechanisms, and governance frameworks to manage execution risk during transitional periods.

Operational and IT
Due Diligence

Operational due diligence assesses process maturity, scalability, and capability alignment. IT due diligence includes systems architecture review, cybersecurity exposure, and ERP integration risk. These insights are used to validate post-deal operating models and highlight critical dependencies.

ESG and Risk Assessment in Transactions

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are reviewed to identify reputational and regulatory exposures. Risk frameworks assess compliance alignment, governance standards, and sustainability indicators. Findings support both investment committee decisions and long-term value assessments.
