In today’s competitive and volatile markets, where capital sources appear increasingly inaccessible, corporate finance must extend its thinking and actions across traditional financial boundaries to integrate every aspect of the business into its decisions.
Our Corporate Finance Practice is well positioned to help CFOs and other company executives address these new cross-functional and multi-faceted challenges. We offer clients a unique combination of services integrating strategy, finance, and transaction advice. We support our clients through all phases of their acquisition, divestiture, and alliance transactions—before, during, and after—and help them with valuation, and financial and discounted cash-flow modeling.
Because our fees are unrelated to the results of our clients’ financial transactions, our recommendations are objective and focused on clients’ long-term success. We assess all projects on whether they align with the enterprise’s global strategy—and not short-term profitability. We also work closely with our clients to help them develop the capabilities required to bring their projects to fruition.
The Corporate Finance Practice is active along three main axes:
-
Financial Management
We support CFOs in structuring the finance function and defining a long-term, value-creating business strategy, by applying a capital-markets perspective and value-based approach.
-
M&A and Transactions
We help clients maximize long-term value by ensuring that transactions—mergers and acquisitions, alliances and joint ventures, divestitures, and IPOs—are consistent with their overall corporate strategy and stakeholder expectations.
-
Financial Analysis
Our Corporate Performance Center (CPC) experts use McKinsey proprietary models and detailed financial analyses to help clients develop a global perspective on their most important finance questions.
