Transaction Support Services FAQs
Answers to your most frequently asked questions
How is 8020's Consulting model different from other firms?
Unlike traditional firms that rely on junior teams or contractors, we embed highly experienced operators directly onto your team.
Our consultants are chosen from the top 10% of the market and are our full-time employees who combine deep technical expertise with hands-on operational experience, averaging 20+ years in the field.
This means you get the perfectly chosen expert for your specific needs, who operates as an extension of your team, drives immediate results, and elevates your entire finance operation through their proven methodologies and industry knowledge.
What makes your consultants different from other firms' consultants?
We exclusively hire senior finance professionals who have both led and executed complex financial operations in many real-world scenarios.
Each consultant must demonstrate exceptional technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of success across challenging business environments.
Our consultants have actually "sat in the seat" - meaning they've held senior finance positions and truly understand the day-to-day challenges of running finance operations. This combination of technical knowledge and practical experience matched to your specific challenges enables them to deliver superior results.
How do you match consultants to specific client needs?
Our leadership & Client Services teams are made up of experienced finance and accounting consultants themselves, so they actually viscerally understand what your challenges are and who's best suited on our team to solve them.
We also use a precise diagnostic approach to match the right expert to your specific challenges by carefully evaluating project requirements, industry context, and technical needs to deploy consultants with directly relevant experience.
Our very selective hiring process maintains a diverse pool of specialists across many finance disciplines, ensuring we can address any financial challenge with the exact expertise needed. While out on a project, each of our consultants can leverage the collective knowledge & experience of all ~100 experts on the team whenever needed.
This strategic matching process, refined over years of successful engagements, maximizes project success and client satisfaction.
What differentiates your due diligence approach - buy-side vs. sell-side transactions?
For buy-side, we focus on validating growth assumptions, identifying operational risks, and quantifying synergy opportunities through detailed financial and operational analysis.
Our sell-side approach emphasizes optimizing financial presentation, preparing comprehensive deal materials, and proactively addressing potential buyer concerns.
We maintain strict quality standards across both, but tailor our methodology to each client's strategic objectives, deal complexity, and market positioning.
What do transaction advisory services do?
We deliver comprehensive support throughout the deal lifecycle, including financial due diligence, Quality of Earnings analyses, synergy identification, process management, and integration planning.
While our approach adapts to each situation, our focus remains constant: maximizing deal value through expert analysis and execution support.
What markets does the 8020 Consulting Transaction Services Team best work with?
We have deep expertise serving middle-market companies ($50M-$1B revenue), private equity firms, and strategic corporate buyers and sellers.
Our proven experience spans technology, manufacturing, healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, with the flexibility to support other industries where our financial expertise adds value.
What types of deals need transaction support services?
Our expertise is particularly valuable for mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments, carve-outs, divestitures, and strategic partnerships.
We excel in complex transactions with significant integration needs or tight timelines, while maintaining the flexibility to support various deal structures.
How long is a typical engagement with a transaction support team?
While each engagement is unique, our experience shows pre-deal work can require 4-6 weeks, due diligence can span somewhere between 2-4 months, and integration support often extends 3-12 months.
We structure our involvement to align with your transaction timeline and requirements.
What are the benefits of working with a transaction support team?
Our team delivers enhanced deal value through expert analysis, reduced transaction risk through comprehensive due diligence, accelerated timelines through efficient management, and improved integration outcomes.
We bring specialized expertise that complements your team while allowing management to maintain focus on business operations.
How do I know if I need transaction support services?
Transaction support services are valuable if you're planning a significant M&A transaction, need specialized financial expertise, have limited internal bandwidth for deal execution, or face complex integration challenges.
We'll assess your specific situation and recommend targeted support that maximizes value for your transaction.
