"The BDO team acted as trusted advisers throughout the transaction process and provided excellent support, particularly as this was our first transaction.
Our deal involved a complex carve-out from a council-owned group, requiring careful navigation of a range of commercial, financial and tax considerations.
There was joined up thinking between the work in financial due diligence identifying risk items, and the review of the SPA.
Our tax advisors worked seamlessly with our lawyers on a number of complex issues, reducing workload for our project manager.
I could always pick up the phone to BDO. They consistently provided solutions rather than problems and explained complex issues in a clear, management-friendly way.
BDO's reporting was of a consistently high standard, and they navigated complex tax and SPA issues with expertise, helping us achieve the best commercial outcome. They were highly engaged in managing the transaction timeline and project, playing an important role in ensuring the deal completed to plan."
