Summary
Investment banks handling M&A, capital raising, and restructuring spend enormous time normalizing financials, analyzing deal comps, and building financial models—often with fragmented data and manual processes. Disparate financial statements, unstructured filings, and inconsistent reporting slow down execution, increasing the risk of missed opportunities and suboptimal deal structuring. By leveraging automated data ingestion, AI-driven modeling, and centralized deal intelligence, firms can streamline due diligence, surface the right deal comps, and gain a competitive edge in advisory services.
Challenges
M&A due diligence is slow and manual, requiring analysts to standardize financials from disparate sources.
Deal comps and financial models rely on fragmented datasets, delaying valuation and structuring.
Restructuring teams lack a unified view of distressed assets, liabilities, and counterparties.
No automation for regulatory filings and transactional reporting, leading to inefficiencies.
