About Goldmont Consulting
Boutique M&A support built for speed, clarity, and outcomes.
We help corporate acquirers and PE-backed platforms capture 100-day value with less integration risk— through commercial & tech diligence, Day-1/Day-100 plans, and value-creation office execution.
Practical deliverables, not theater: decision-ready outputs and operator-ready plans.
Why we exist
Make the tradeoffs explicit—then ship the plan.
Deals stumble on predictable failure modes: a thesis that isn’t testable, diligence that doesn’t resolve the hardest questions, and integration plans that can’t survive real operating constraints.
Goldmont exists to help teams move fast without guessing—quantify uncertainty, surface risks early, and convert conclusions into a day-by-day operating cadence.
What “good” looks like
Confidence you can execute.
- Clarity: the economic story, assumptions, and risks are written down and testable.
- Ownership: every initiative has an owner, a milestone, and a metric.
- Cadence: decisions happen on schedule with a visible backlog and escalation paths.
- Adoption: deliverables are runnable by operators—not just slide summaries.
How we think
Principles we won’t compromise on
- Smallest useful scope wins: start tight, ship real output, expand only if it works.
- Speed without sloppiness: short cycles + checkpoints beat big-bang deliverables.
- Truth over theater: quantify uncertainty and surface risks early.
- Execution is the work: a plan without governance is just a document.
Operating approach
How we work
A simple process designed to move fast with confidence: tight scope, concrete deliverables, and explicit decisions at the moments that matter.
01 — Diagnose
Define the decision
Align on the decision, timeline, stakeholders, and the smallest scope that produces a real answer.
- Decision + deadline
- Risk hypotheses
- Data access + owners
02 — Deliver
Ship usable output
Work in short cycles with visible drafts, so there are no late surprises.
- Weekly cadence + checkpoints
- Early drafts, fast iteration
- Clear owners + metrics
03 — Execute
Convert plans to cadence
Make the plan runnable through close and beyond with governance, reporting, and escalation paths.
- Day-1 / Day-30 / Day-100
- Workstream governance
- Risk register + escalation
Deliverables
What you get
Every engagement is designed to produce decision-ready outputs that operators can run.
- Deal thesis pressure-test (market story, unit economics, risk flags)
- Commercial diligence summary with quantified uncertainty
- Technology diligence (systems, data, security, scalability, roadmap risk)
- Value driver map (owners, milestones, metrics)
- Governance cadence (workstreams, decision log, executive reporting)
- Integration plan (Day-1 / Day-30 / Day-100 sequencing)
Clients
Who we work with
- Corporate acquirers leading diligence and integration
- PE-backed platforms executing roll-ups and tuck-ins
- Corp dev teams needing fast, grounded diligence
- Operating leaders responsible for Day-1 readiness
Point of view
What you should expect
Our job is to make tradeoffs obvious and the plan adoptable—so value shows up in execution, not just in the memo.
We’ll push for specificity: owners, metrics, timing, dependencies, and the “hard no’s.”
