Mergers & Acquisitions

Buy Side | Sell Side | Integration

Only 30% of Mergers & Acquisitions increase shareholder value, meaning 70% of M&A's fail, and actually decrease shareholder value.

Morgan Grace blends three competencies to help our clients M&A activities succeed:

  • Technical expertise.
  • Practical, real world deal experience.
  • Our partners have sat in ‘all the seats around the M&A table’.
  • Human Capital Management (HCM) – Our Key Differentiator.
  • 92% of polled M&A respondents say they would have substantially benefited from pre-merger cultural understanding.
  • 70% say too little effort went into resolving cultural issues during integration.
  • “You have to look at a merger as you have to look at a marriage … you’re going to be spending a lot of time together.”

Once ‘the numbers make sense’, our  HCM centric approach and deep expertise in the human behavior side of business helps proactively put our clients into the exclusive 30% of M&A’s that increase value.

Public Accounting Firm Client

“As a third generation, mid-size firm, serving clients in two very demanding industries, we needed a top to bottom tune-up for all aspects of our business, from brand, to people, to process to function. That’s exactly what they did, from a complete assessment to implementation of all change, re-org and improvements. They also helped us divest a previous acquisition that just wasn’t a fit.”

PE Client

“Morgan Grace fills the gap that many middle market companies have … where they have people who can work in the business, but have limited time and ability to work on the business.”

Consulting Firm Client

“They did exactly what they said. They helped tune us up and accelerated our growth. In one business, that was always a ‘drag’, they helped us maximize its value and divest it to a ‘better home’. So in that sense they brought us closure and satisfaction.”

Digital Client

“MGLLC … They know how. If you're good, they'll help make you great. If you want out, they’ll work tirelessly to help get you your number … If you're dealing with a challenge, they’ll do their best to help you or at least help you limit your downside.”
