Book Launch: Success of M&A Advice in Corporate Transactions
In his book, Wolfgang Hohnhaus examines the contribution of M&A consultancies to the success of an M&A transaction. Furthermore, the book goes into great detail on M&A process management; in particular, the positive interaction between the M&A advisor and the buying company is addressed.
The author shows the M&A process steps which should be assigned to an M&A consultancy and which of the assigned M&A consultancy functions contribute significantly to professionally achieving the set client goals in an M&A process.
The author's analysis is based on theoretical considerations from service and M&A research as well as a survey of the 70 most active German groups in the M&A sector.

Buying a business is a complicated process. In order to achieve the best result and minimise risks, experienced advisors from various fields should be consulted from the very beginning. These can assess the financial, economic, legal and tax risks and help to make the purchase successful.
A combination of internal willingness to change, a professional M&A team and willingness to integrate the target company as well as external expertise form the basis for a successful company acquisition.
Role of the CFO in the M&A process during a company acquisition
In an M&A process, the CFO and the finance and accounting organisation play an important role. The CFO can provide valuable arguments to achieve an optimal price for the company. If the CFO lacks experience in M&A processes on the buy side, the CFO can become a dealbreaker.
A CFO who can answer the fit-for-sale question increases the chances of a smooth M&A process. Although an M&A advisor can provide support and carry out certain clarifications, professional and modern financial management is a key factor for the success of a company, not only in an M&A process.
