So you can say yes to 3× the mandates.
Financial models, valuations, Information Memoranda and board packs. Senior hands, not an analyst bench. Your brand, your client, your credit.
Ten years of advisory experience gets you a clear read on the engagement scope and deliverables, disciplined execution against them, and the key risks and highlights that carry the weight in the last mile.
A proper peer-level conversation about what your client expects and what the engagement letter promises — not a brief taken down and executed blind.
Disciplined delivery against that scope: the model, the IM, the databook, built to the standard the deliverables demand.
The key risks and highlights, handed over in a short briefing note, so you can stand behind every number in the room.
The mandate, the client, the expectations. Origination and the relationship are yours — before I ever start.
Financial models and valuations, Information Memoranda and teasers, board and investment-committee packs, monthly management reports, market and company research, databooks, data rooms and due-diligence support. The production that has to happen — done, and never seen.
The judgement, the negotiation, the last mile. Where your value actually lands.
The point isn't the split. It's that I carry the 80% — so the next mandate doesn't cost you a hire.
The first question every adviser asks is whether I will take their client. The answer is structural and contractual, not a promise you have to take on trust.
Advisory work is lumpy. Peaks cost you deals, troughs cost you overhead — capacity you can turn on and off solves both.
Sell-side and buy-side M&A, valuations and independent expert reports on listed transactions up to US$2.3 billion — alongside the A$1.5–6m EBITDA mid-market sell-sides that are a boutique adviser's daily work.
