M&A software for professional services
From long list to hundred-day plan.
Acquisition Engine runs the whole acquisition of an accountancy, audit or tax practice in one system — finding the firms, approaching them, running the deal room and diligence, and landing the integration.
Built for acquirers who are buying more than once.
One spine, eleven stages
Most acquirers run origination in a spreadsheet, outreach in a mailbox, diligence in a shared drive and integration in someone's head. Every handover loses something. This is one system instead, and every deal moves through the same stages.

The hundred days after completion
A deal room that opens itself
Nine folders, forty-four diligence requests and a hundred-day plan, all opened at the stage that needs them. Nobody opens a diligence list before they need it, and by the time they need it they are busy.
- Data room at offer, request list at diligence, integration plan at completion
- Every request carries guidance on what to look for and a risk rating
- Question and answer threads against the deal, not in email
- Every view and download logged against the user and the deal
Who it is for
Buy-and-build platforms
Backed consolidators acquiring repeatedly, who need every deal run the same way and reported the same way.
Growing practices
Firms buying fee blocks and small practices from retiring principals, where the constraint is finding them, not funding them.
Audit firms
Acquirers with a registered-auditor requirement, working from the statutory audit register by city or region.
See it on your own mandate
The most useful demo is against a real brief — what you are buying, where, and at what size. You will see your own long list, not a demo account.
