Fractional M&A Director
The expertise of a seasoned Head of M&A — without the full-time salary. Embedded in your team, we lead your acquisition from thesis to term sheet to close, scaled to your deal cadence.
Strictly confidential No full-time commitment Flexible engagement
An experienced hand, in your corner.
From first thesis to signed deal — the full arc of an acquisition, led by a practitioner who has closed them before. You stay in control; we carry the load.
We shape what you should buy and why — sector, size, structure, and the value-creation logic behind each move.
We triage inbound and sourced opportunities so your team only spends time on deals genuinely worth pursuing.
We draft letters of intent, frame valuations, and negotiate the terms — price, structure, and protections — from your side of the table.
We run the diligence process end-to-end: advisors, Q&A, risk assessment, and the path to signing.
We carry the deal from signed LOI to completion — and into the first days of integration planning.
Senior counsel, without the overhead.
A full-time Head of M&A is a serious commitment — often made before the deal flow justifies it. A fractional director gives you the same calibre of leadership, shaped to the work you actually have.

Fractional, retained, and embedded in your team — present for board meetings, vendor calls, and closing rooms, on a schedule that fits your deal cadence. Heavy through an active acquisition, lighter between them. Senior counsel when you need it, none of the overhead when you don’t.
