Sourcing

Building a sourcing system that consistently reaches the right prospects and turns conversations into results.

The Challenge

The Reality

Outreach is often manual and fragmented with teams spending hours reaching out to hundreds of prospects without knowing who’s worth their time.

The Result

Strong opportunities are missed, messaging feels generic, and results are hard to track or improve.

  • Coordinate outreach cadence across teams.

Deal Execution

Enabling disciplined, end-to-end execution to move faster, reduce risk, and build lasting internal capability.

The Challenge

The Reality

Rapid M&A means juggling multiple deals at once and coordinating across legal, finance, and operations, requiring scale most companies aren’t built to handle.

The Result

Deals stall, details slip through the cracks, and teams become overstretched, slowing momentum, weakening credibility with sellers, and risking value leakage.

Access provides comprehensive execution support that balances speed and control, managing active deals while building internal capability for long-term independence.

  • Coordinate diligence, legal drafting, negotiations, and approvals.
  • Maintain alignment across workstreams.

Integration & Tracking

Providing the toolkit to enable every acquisition to deliver on its promise with structured integration, clear KPIs, and disciplined value tracking.

The Challenge

The Reality

Post-close integration is complex but critical to ensuring an acquisition is successful. Smaller companies don’t maintain a tested playbook.

The Result

Inconsistent integration leads to missed synergies, delayed performance, and limited transparency into deal outcomes.

The A2C Solution

Access provides a structured framework to plan and execute integrations, track synergies, and build the reporting needed to manage performance over time.

  • Align leaders to an integration roadmap with clear workstreams and responsibilities.
  • Track and quantify synergies against the original deal thesis.

  • Deliver functional playbooks that embed best practices.
