Most M&A projects fail before they even start. Here's why. After years of working with M&A firms, three things always come up: ✅ 1. Sufficient (junior) resources in place => Sounds like a no-brainer, but it’s often the biggest hurdle. M&A is a volatile business, hiring takes forever, and freelancers? Well... ✅ 2. Analysts need the right tools and guidance => Junior analysts burn out on repetitive tasks and can’t scale their impact without proper support. ✅ 3. Clear Processes, templates, and execution structure It all starts with unclear workflows: Missed deadlines, inconsistent documents, wasted hours. This does not make the client happy. Ticking all three boxes? Bring it on! 🎉 If not, don’t worry. That’s where (Super)Analyst can help. What are the biggest challenges you see in M&A projects? #CorporateFinance #M&A #ProjectExecution

For everyone out there sitting in the office today (or planning to go)... 🤯

"Just checking..." is killing your credibility. Here's what you should say instead. Your communication defines how others perceive you. Words matter. Tone matters. Clarity matters. Here are three small changes that can make a big impact: 1️⃣ Managing Expectations 🚫 "I'll try my best." ✅ "You’ll have your first draft by [time]." → Clear timelines build trust and avoid guesswork. 2️⃣ Owning Mistakes 🚫 "It’s not my fault." ✅ "Here’s what went wrong and how I’ll fix this." → Accountability strengthens relationships. 3️⃣ Following Up Proactively 🚫 "Just checking..." ✅ "Here’s your update. Next steps are [X]." → Initiative keeps projects moving forward. What would you add? (Super)Analyst #CorporateFinance #M&A
