I am excited to learn about the recent acquisition of Grant Thornton by New Mountain Capital. This strategic move marks a significant shift in the landscape of accounting and consulting services.This major development is poised to create waves across the industry. Here are a few thoughts on what this acquisition might mean: 1.With New Mountain Capital's robust backing, Grant Thornton could see an infusion of resources and cutting-edge tools, potentially expanding their service offerings and enhancing client solutions. 2.This acquisition opens up new growth avenues for Grant Thornton, providing opportunities to explore new markets and sectors, thanks to New Mountain Capital’s strategic investment expertise. 3.This move could prompt other firms in the sector to reassess their strategies and partnerships, potentially setting off a trend toward consolidation and strategic investment. 4.For clients, this could translate into improved service quality and new offerings, as Grant Thornton integrates new capabilities and expertise from New Mountain Capital. I’m keen to see how this will reshape the landscape and what exciting developments lie ahead. What are your thoughts on this acquisition? #Finance #Accounting #BusinessGrowth #MergersAndAcquisitions #IndustryNews

Tim Brennan, Associate General Counsel at Aon Corporation has been appointed to the speaking faculty for the upcoming M&A Conference at the University of Chicago Gleacher Center, which is hosted by the Transaction Advisors Institute. A few of the questions he will be addressing: - How are M&A teams evaluating creative alternatives to secure retention of the target’s leadership, including equity rollovers, contingent consideration, and employment agreements with deferred compensation? - Where does the FTC’s ban on non-compete agreements provide exceptions for M&A? - Is there a goodwill threshold? - Can entities be bound by non-competes? - How are non-disclosure agreements, non-solicitation agreements, and various IP agreements changing to provide de facto retention elements as non-competes lose their strength? We're going to talk about what's new, what's different, and what's clever so we can help our members improve their M&A process and the performance of future acquisitions. 🔗See the full agenda: https://hubs.li/Q02BXL-t0 #mergersacquisitionsdivestitures #mergersandacquisitions #corporatedevelopment

Proactive succession planning is vital for Canadian privately held and family-owned real estate businesses. Safeguard organization stability and preserve essential knowledge through EY’s strategic three-phased approach: https://ow.ly/PlsS30sEJoW #EYCanada #BetterWorkingWorld #RealEstate

Amongst all the successes and flurry of announcements around the acceleration in acquisitions across the accountancy market, there will always be a place for strong, credible and experienced people to go it alone. Everyone deserves to create their own opportunity - as they want to - and taking that little bit of risk more than often pays off. A nod to Gary Woodhall and his new Audit servicing business, Inseek. , which he launched last month. He, like many, is targeting the Owner Managed business market (often supporting Independent Accountancy Firms who wish to increasingly step away from the regulation) and has a strong background with International Inbound Investment BUT not many are just focusing on Audit only services. Creds: Ex Big Four Audit, Ex Head of Audit, Ex divisional MD of Challenger Firm pre sale - now niche business owner. Excited for you mate. #Audit #International #Accountancymarket
