Deal Analytics

Powering winning deals with data science.

Innovative, analytical tools to optimize investments and manage risks

Deal analytics can broadly be classified into exploratory analytics, which aims to identify potential deal risks and opportunities, and focused analytics, which validates key investment thesis.

Our unique approach leverages innovative analytical tools and techniques for better decision making. We blend the power of deal-savvy data scientists and experienced deal teams to uncover insights that give our clients a competitive advantage.

Deal analytics gives us the ability to process large datasets (client, target, and other third-party data) to empower data-driven decisions at every stage of the deal. These tools enhance BDO’s traditional offerings, giving us the ability to offer value-added advice and services for pre-deal, deal readiness, buy-side and sell-side execution, and post-deal.
