Transaction Advisory
Financial due diligence, business valuations, M&A deal structuring, and financial modelling — supporting buyers, sellers, and investors across the transaction lifecycle.
Our Transaction Advisory Practice
PSCA & Co.'s Transaction Advisory practice covers financial due diligence, business valuations, M&A deal structuring, and financial modelling — from initial screening through to closing and post-acquisition review.
The practice has undertaken engagements involving acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, private equity investments, and business sales. Clients have included promoters, corporate acquirers, PE funds, NBFCs, and family businesses across a range of transaction sizes and structures.
Valuations conducted by the firm are prepared in accordance with the ICAI Valuation Standards (IVS) and the SEBI / RBI / FEMA frameworks applicable to each transaction type.
