Our sector focus, blended with a team who have experience of working in these industries, underpins our ability to manage our clients’ M&A activities, sitting alongside them throughout the process. This experience allows us to recognise many of the challenges that impact professional service firms, whether that be due to current market trends, or issues that arise at different stages of our clients evolution. As a result, we can very quickly align ourselves with our clients, bringing well considered and creative solutions to the table assisting their strategic development and growth.

What we do

M&A advisory

M&A transactions might seem straightforward, but there are always complex and sensitive issues that need to be addressed and solutions to be found. Identifying these hurdles early in any process is an important step in addressing them, and ensuring a smooth and less disrupted process.

Our approach is centred on gaining a deep understanding of our clients' business, vision, and culture. This allows us to clearly understand their aspirations and, where relevant, their personal circumstances which may influence the outcome of a process.

It is from here that we can add value to the process, introducing clients to best-fit prospective targets or potential acquirers.

Consultancy

Our consultancy is guided by a commitment to thorough analysis, close client collaboration and a practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving. This enables us to customise our services to address each client's unique challenges and concerns. Whether supporting M&A preparation, shaping broader strategy, conducting business/practice health checks, performing productivity reviews, valuations, or providing partnership advice and mediation, our goal is to deliver high-value, tailored solutions that align with your business needs.

Top 30 UK accounting firm

I entrusted the merger and subsequent sale of my business to Keith and Julia at Foulger Underwood and I’m truly delighted that I did.
They were totally professional in the caring way they conducted themselves, and were always available if there were any queries or negotiations that needed to be discussed.
They have followed up to ensure that everything was going well and we were still happy with the our new partners.
Excellent service by attentive, efficient and delightful people.
Chris Panayi
Senior Partner, Hentons

Foulger Underwood quickly understood our business and objectives and wanted to work with us an adviser rather than just sell us quickly. Our choice was borne out by the patience and time the Foulger Underwood team spent with us. There was a great deal of care and professionalism which meant it didn’t feel like we were just another client.
Harry Hornby
Eagle Consulting (Scarista Ltd)

We are a large accountancy practice of 600 personnel with a £40m turnover. We employed the services of Foulger Underwood to assist with an acquisition, having previously used their services. We find their wealth of experience, their easy way to communicate and their ability to give us valued feedback immensely rewarding and wholeheartedly recommend.

They have been there , done it and delivered in a previous life. By working as they do (with other practices) they are effectively benchmarking us too!
