Realize Deal Value Drivers
Mergers and acquisitions have the potential to create significant value and competitive advantages. But the challenges of integrating an acquired company into current operations — or even standing up a new entity that must still align to your strategy and operational structure — are extensive. BDO’s M&A Integration services are designed to focus on transaction priorities, value drivers and synergies while you focus on running your business.
M&A integration planning begins during due diligence, defining integration priorities and a high-level view of the post-merger integration as well as laying out the structure and governance model for the integration team. It continues through pre-close with Day 1 readiness, and advances toward the achievement of Day 100 objectives and realization of synergy targets.
Our professionals have extensive experience in M&A integration strategy development, planning and execution, across industries, with companies from emerging to large, and with both acquiring and acquired companies.
Our key services include:
- Culture, change management and communication
- Day 1 readiness
- Development of integration strategy and priorities
- M&A integration and synergy capture planning
- Post-merger integration services
- Integration Management Office (IMO) and Program Management Office (PMO)
- Operating model design

M&A Integration Frequently Asked Questions
Integration should be an early consideration. (i.e., validate your integration hypotheses during due diligence and start integration planning before closing to address Day 1 imperatives). Define an integration strategy, the target operating model, and an integration governance structure.
Focus on and prioritize the deal value drivers. Define the sequencing of integration activities across all integration teams and understand interdependencies.
Identify or appoint synergy owners and develop detailed synergy capture plans. Define synergy targets and metrics and implement a tracking process.
Establish clear metrics and KPIs to evaluate integration success based on deal value drivers, such as financial performance, customer retention, and employee satisfaction. Regularly review these metrics and adjust strategies as needed to ensure the integration is on track to meet its objectives.
Culture and change management are critical components of a successful M&A integration. Aligning organizational cultures and managing change effectively can help minimize disruptions and enhance employee engagement.
