An M&A specialist is a senior CFO with a proven track record of overseeing and implementing mergers and acquisitions. An M&A specialist is a senior CFO with a proven track record of overseeing and implementing mergers and acquisitions. They may be hired on a full-time basis and carry a full CFO workload or can be recruited on a part-time or interim basis to focus on a specific merger or acquisition. This flexibility is ideal for start-ups and SMEs who don’t have the budget to recruit a full external team to oversee an M&A or to hire a full-time CFO. The CFO is a link between both companies engaged in the M&A, acting as the eyes and ears for both the board and CEO. Their financial skills enable them to identify potential M&A opportunities and incorporate risk management into their strategy to get the most value out of their deal. Most companies evolve their approach to mergers and acquisitions organically, especially those who rely on an M&A specialist instead of having a dedicated team that works solely on M&A. The CFO is responsible for considering any potential acquisitions, crunching the numbers involved, and ensuring due diligence. They’ll be responsible for determining the value of a potential M&A and presenting it to the company’s board and leadership team to determine whether to make the purchase. An M&A specialist is responsible for gathering the data – including both positive and negative factors – to present an objective look at the other organisation and the potential value the acquisition could bring. CFOs will spend most of their time getting to grips with the numbers involved, long before presenting the M&A proposal to the board. This exercise also requires them to have real-time insight into their own company’s performance, value, and finances to paint a wider picture. An M&A specialist will take the critical steps of ensuring that the numbers presented to them are correct. CFOs who don’t specialise in M&As will still have the skill set required to oversee the process but may lack the efficiency and unique insight of an M&A specialist. Companies that are exploring the option of a merger or being acquired by another company may also decide to recruit an M&A specialist to prepare their accounting. The organisation will want to ensure they present the correct numbers to get the correct valuation and prevent any delays further in the process if incorrect numbers pop up. Getting on top of the data early can enable CFOs to plan accordingly. Most will want to provide extra time within their strategy for any potential hiccups along the way. Spending more time on the data early on can speed up the process while still ensuring due diligence is met.

We work with a small number of new traders on a one-to-one basis at a time. This enables us to develop a program completely around you, whether you’re brand new to this business and need to start from scratch, or you have some experience but need to unlearn what’s not working and relearn new skills that do work. Because your requirements may be unique, our bespoke programs are flexible too. We aim to work with new traders over the long term (typically as long as a year) to ensure you’ve mastered the skills and techniques we’ve taught, and also to ensure you can apply them effectively in different market conditions. Our typical one-to-one programs will consist of weekly live online workshops covering the trading skills and techniques you need, moving gradually to monthly coaching and mentoring sessions as you become more proficient in trading on your own. Our style of trading incorporates a combination of fundamental and technical analysis to read the markets, using one of four technical trading strategies to execute trade positions. Our strategies are suitable for all liquid markets including Indices, Forex, Commodities and Stocks. All our bespoke programs include some access to our online trading room, so you can observe how we are using the same techniques to trade the markets ourselves. Once you have gained suitable experience in our trading methods and have a good understanding of risk management, you will be offered full membership, which will give you permanent access to the trading room and other membership services should you wish. As a guild our bespoke one-to-one programs can range from 5 to 15+ individual sessions with prices ranging in the region of £1,500.00 to £3,000.00 depending on your requirements and current trading experience.
