M&A Strategy

CRA advises companies in many industries on growth strategies. We are particularly adept at assessing whether potential acquisition targets are likely to be accretive to earnings per share and whether a target is a good cultural and strategic fit.

We also provide M&A transaction advisory services.  Our consultants have proven expertise in helping businesses define compelling strategies for growth and enhanced shareholder value, and effectively communicating these to senior corporate management and the investment community. Our work is always conducted within a broad industry context to ensure that we develop distinctive solutions to fit your capabilities, financial wherewithal, and appetite for risk.
