BDO provided Vendor Assist services to support this transaction, utilising data analytics to prepare a suite of datapacks that were ‘interactive’, allowing users to toggle between reported, normalised and pro-forma presentations of financial information, whilst also enabling detailed interrogation of specific balances. 

The BDO project team included: Vinod Patel, Andrew Sproule, John Burton, Georgia Braithwaite and Adam Ashman.

 

"The BDO Transaction Services team provided excellent support in relation to the recent sale of our business through a Vendor Assist exercise. 

Leveraging data analytics, the BDO team prepared a suite of datapacks presenting historical and forecast financial performance and KPI trends, including comprehensive analysis of our business evolution.

The BDO team quickly extracted and processed high volumes of data into concise, insightful and visual dashboards. I was particularly impressed by the interactive nature of the datapacks, allowing users to toggle between reported, normalised and pro-forma presentations of our financial results, whilst also enabling detailed interrogation of specific balances. This functionality played a key role in enabling potential acquirers to conduct thorough diligence on our business, something that we considered invaluable to us securing our deal. 

BDO’s data analytics capabilities, high quality output and service were exceptional and I would highly recommend BDO to anyone looking to sell a business."
