M&A Analytical Support & Due Diligence

M&A analytical support is the financial work behind a transaction: screening targets, modeling what the deal does to earnings, testing the synergies, and reviewing the quality of the numbers a seller presents. Dominion Strategic Holdings provides the analysis; it does not broker deals or place securities.

Buy side — before you commit

The seller's numbers are prepared to sell. Quality-of-earnings work separates recurring earnings from one-time items, owner add-backs and accounting choices that flatter the picture.

Accretion and dilution analysis then shows what the proposed structure does to your own earnings under several mixes of cash, debt and equity — before you sign anything.

Sell side — before you present

A vendor due diligence package puts your financials in the form a sophisticated buyer expects, with the obvious questions already answered. It shortens diligence and removes the surprises that reopen price.

Frequently asked questions

What is quality of earnings?
A review that separates a company's recurring, sustainable earnings from one-time items, owner add-backs and accounting choices. It is what a buyer relies on to decide whether the reported EBITDA is real.
What is accretion / dilution analysis?
Modeling of what a proposed acquisition does to the acquirer's earnings per share under different structures — cash, debt, stock or a mix. It answers whether the deal makes the buyer better or worse off on day one.
Do you broker the transaction?
No. Dominion Strategic Holdings provides analytical and modeling support only. It does not act as a deal broker, place securities or provide regulated financial advisory.
How long does buy-side due diligence take?
Ten to fifteen days for a full financial diligence review. A faster pre-investment screen of five to ten pages can be delivered in 2 to 3 days if you need to decide whether to proceed at all.
