Business reviews and advisory support

When decisions need to be made in complex, fast-evolving businesses, traditional reporting often doesn’t tell the whole story. Boards, lenders and sponsors require independent thinking grounded in operational understanding - especially across jurisdictions.

BM&T delivers business review and advisory support in complex, cross-border environments. We bring operational, financial and strategic clarity to organisations navigating acquisitions, integrations, stakeholder misalignment or multi-site performance challenges.

Whether helping validate leadership assumptions or pressure-testing performance plans, our work supports informed decisions, credible strategies and aligned stakeholders - always with discretion and discipline.

Key challenges we address

Cross-border acquisitions or integrations with operational risk
Multi-site or multi-country performance variance
Gaps between reported performance and on-the-ground realities
Lack of clarity in cost structures, pricing, or post-deal reporting
Board-level uncertainty around turnaround priorities or plant strategy

Our approach

Rapid business diagnostics: We provide focused, time-sensitive business assessments that surface key issues across operations, cost structures and leadership assumptions.
Post-acquisition advisory: We support integration planning, reporting harmonisation, and product or margin analysis to inform strategic execution post-deal.
Site-level performance reviews: We bring local insight and industry understanding to review plant-level issues - often missed in top-down financial analysis.
Cross-border coordination: Through BM&T’s international partner network, we deliver local expertise with central control - from France to Russia, Italy to Turkey.
Stakeholder clarity and risk-mapping: We distil findings into actionable options for boards, lenders or sponsors - focused on alignment, timing and impact.

Why BM&T?

Ground-level insight and boardroom clarity: We understand what makes a plant tick - and what a board needs to hear.
Cross-border, cross-discipline: Our team blends commercial, operational and financial experience across Europe, often in multilingual environments.
Advisory without agenda: We don’t sell audits or insolvency - we deliver clarity when and where it matters.
Fast, focused and confidential: Whether pressure-testing assumptions or guiding integration, we move fast and keep it trusted.
Embedded European network: Our ERS partnerships allow us to operate seamlessly across borders - without losing local depth.

BM&T supported Accuride, a US private equity-owned global manufacturer of commercial vehicle wheels, through two strategic acquisitions in Europe — including a €350m German group with operations in seven countries.
