I will write a pe grade IT due diligence report
CTO and Technology Advisor M and A Due Diligence and Integration Specialist
About this Gig
Most technology assessments for acquisitions look the same. Checklists. RAG statuses with no context. No connection to deal economics.
I've spent 36 years in IT, including global IT leadership for a 1.1bn turnover business and technology due diligence for PE-backed professional services acquisitions. I know what real IT risk looks like in a mid-market business and how to write it up in language an investment committee uses.
What I produce: risk-rated findings with investment implications stated explicitly. Integration complexity analysis with timeline and cost estimates. Value creation opportunities alongside the risks. Written in PE operating partner language.
I specialise in professional services businesses: accountancy, legal, consulting, and advisory firms. PE-backed and PE-ready businesses of 50 to 500 staff.
This is not the right gig for consumer businesses, manufacturing, or technology companies themselves.
How it works: order and complete a structured briefing document, 15-20 minutes. Premium tier includes a 30-minute call. Report delivered in the agreed timeframe with revisions included.
Message me before ordering if you want to confirm I can cover your sector.

FAQ
Do you need access to the target company's systems?
No. Reports are based on documentation, briefing information, and publicly available data. For Premium I include a 30-minute call. I'll be clear in the report about what I have and haven't verified.
Is this suitable for a formal due diligence process?
These reports are credible inputs to a deal process, not a replacement for a Big 4 technology audit. If you need a vendor-signed report for regulatory or lender purposes, that's a different scope. If you need a high-quality commercial technology perspective, this is the right product.
Can this be used in a Vendor Due Diligence pack?
Yes. Tell me upfront and I'll structure it accordingly.
What are the most common findings?
Inadequate cybersecurity controls (MFA, endpoint protection, incident response), fragmented or legacy practice management systems, and UK GDPR compliance gaps. Common findings, priceable before close.
What if my situation needs more than your tiers cover?
Message me. I handle custom-scoped assessments for larger environments, quoted separately.
