AtlanticM&A · Value Creation
Between those rebuilds nobody knows where the number stands. Here an LBO model, synergy tracking per workstream, and the decisions picked up from your transformation meetings are combined into a Deal Value Bridge. FP&A figures are entered monthly, by hand, for now.
The model, the synergies and Tuesday's decisions are one Deal Value Bridge, not three spreadsheets. We have not found another platform that connects all three.
0:00The underwrite lives in a workbook
Somebody underwrote the deal and the synergy case went into a committee paper. It has lived ever since in a spreadsheet that three people update by hand.
0:10Bring the one you already keep
You do not have to retype any of it. Bring the workbook you already have, in the format of the software that you already use. We can also work with you to add automated custom integrations to your ERP.
0:25Five categories, twelve buckets, fifteen actuals
Our import wizard reads the targets and the quarterly actuals, and tells you what it found. Nothing is imported until you say approve it.
0:37The underwrite, written
Both the targets and actuals land together. They are now in one model instead of multiple files that nobody reconciles.
0:46The same number, now a model
It now resides securely as project context in the synergy model. The same deal value driver you signed up to, broken into the objectives it comes from, and linked to milestones in the work plan.
0:59And what actually landed against it
This is the column that decides the conversation. Procurement is running ahead of what was underwritten. The branch programme is a long way behind. See it on the project and rolled up to the fund.
The method began as a London Business School dissertation, awarded a distinction and supervised by Professor Eli Talmor, co-author of the field's standard textbook, International Private Equity. It decomposed operational and financial value creation on the Debenhams buyout. Atlantic is that method, now real-time software.
Most tools track the financial model or the synergy tracker. Atlantic ties them into one bridge and keeps it live.
Total deal value is the operational attainment of synergies plus the financial levers: growth, margin, multiple, and leverage, on one bridge. Not the model or the tracker in isolation, the total.
See the capabilityAnticipated value recomputes as decisions and progress surface in your transformation meetings. Meeting Intelligence captures them live and attributes them to the operational value legs, so the bridge moves with the deal, not with a quarterly financial pack.
See the capabilityRevenue synergies flow to the growth leg, cost synergies to the margin leg. Your synergy plan is the operating value in the bridge, not a separate bar bolted on.
Every leg carries its anticipated height, the plan line, and the realised fill, with percent attained. The underwrite and the actual sit on one picture.
The LBO engine behind the bridge is tied out against 34 public case studies, and the downloadable Excel model reproduces it to the penny on the same inputs.
PE firms roll deal value creation up across portfolio companies on one live view, so the fund-level picture is current, not stitched together from quarterly packs. Run it as its own project type or add the Deal Value module to an Integration or Divestiture.
See the capabilityAtlantic is for the IMO and the Value Creation team who run the transformation, not the fund's reporting stack. Execution trackers tell you whether initiatives are on schedule. Atlantic does that too, and models what the deal is actually worth, operational and financial, on one bridge.
AtlanticM&A does not give financial, investment, tax or legal advice. The deal model, the synergy targets and every decision taken on them belong to you and your advisers, and the numbers are set by your people. You can download the LBO model to Excel to check, review or change any figure, and our support team can help you make changes to the model.

Delivering this for a client?
Same methodology, same quality, one consultant. When the engagement ends, transfer the project to the client account: they keep the method, the history and the reporting, not a folder of final documents.
See how independents use itWe rebuilt 33 public LBOs from their SEC and Companies House filings and checked the Deal Value engine lands on what happened: the debt and cash at every year end, and the sponsor's return. Read what ties, what does not, and why.
Model the plan, watch the attainment in real time, and present the bridge, operational and financial, on a method twenty years in the making.
