Deal & M&A
You're about to commit significant capital. The last thing you want is a surprise after close. We give you the financial clarity to negotiate from strength — and the confidence to sign.
Get Started →The challenge
Most deals that go wrong don't fail at the negotiating table — they fail in the books. Hidden liabilities, inflated earnings, inconsistent accounting, and undisclosed obligations surface after close, when it's too late to renegotiate. Rigorous pre-close diligence is the only way to know what you're actually buying.

What we do
Quality of Earnings (QoE)
A rigorous analysis of the target's true earnings power — normalizing one-time items, identifying accounting irregularities, and validating EBITDA before you commit capital.
Financial Due Diligence
Deep review of historical financials, working capital analysis, debt and liability identification, and cash flow validation — everything you need to negotiate with confidence.
Tax Diligence
Identification of tax exposures, deferred liabilities, and structural risks that could affect enterprise value — and recommendations for deal structuring to mitigate them.
Operational Diligence
Beyond the financials — we assess the operational drivers behind the numbers, identify value creation opportunities, and flag risks that spreadsheets don't capture.
Why MCPL
We've sat on both sides of the table
Our team includes former PE deal executives who have evaluated hundreds of targets. We know what sponsors look for — and we know where sellers hide problems.
Financial and operational in one team
Most diligence firms stop at the financials. We go deeper — connecting the numbers to the operations so you understand the business behind the spreadsheet.
Built for mid-market speed
Mid-market deals move fast. We deliver comprehensive, actionable diligence on the timelines PE sponsors and strategic buyers actually work with — without cutting corners.
Cross-border diligence capability
For Chinese acquirers evaluating US targets, we conduct full diligence in Mandarin — bridging the language and accounting standards gap that derails most cross-border deals.
