M&A full value optimization

Optimize your M&A outcomes


Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) often fail to achieve anticipated results. A variety of factors can detract from the full value of a transaction, including employee uncertainty during change management, insufficient internal expertise, and less-than-optimal integration practices.

Our comprehensive, collaborative, and industry-focused M&A program for banks can help you enhance your M&A outcomes before, during, and after the deal. Crowe can help you:

  • Understand and mitigate deal risks more effectively
  • Maximize and capture deal synergies
  • Address critical people and culture transitions
  • Improve M&A execution

Full value optimization

First, we help you identify and vet value drivers and synergies of the potential deal:

  • Branch optimization
  • Operational streamlining
  • Vendor consolidation
  • Organization restructuring

Then, we help you plan to optimize the deal's value:

  • Sequencing for specific projects
  • Tracking of charters, metrics, baselines, and accountabilities
  • Hands-on execution support to accelerate the realization of key strategies

Functional integration

  • Establish productive M&A integration teams with sound governance and effective connectivity to enable a seamless day one, system conversion, and post-close operations
  • Protect service levels, retain customers, and promote top-line revenue growth into the post-close period

People and cultural transition

Crowe can support a consistent flow of communication to employees and other stakeholders to build commitment and minimize uncertainty. We can help you assess people and culture transition issues at both the tactical and strategic levels, including:

  • Job redesign and compensation and benefits
  • Organizational redesign
  • Culture transition
