SCD advises Advancy Australia on their sale to PwC Australia

Deal Rationale
For the founders, the transaction delivered full liquidity on exit while providing a materially larger platform, and a global partnership network, for themselves and their team.
For PwC, the acquisition secured access to Advancy’s high quality private equity and corporate client base, strengthened its deal strategy capability and added 2 proven partners with immediate revenue contribution.
SCD Approach
Advancy engaged SCD following an unsolicited inbound approach. SCD assumed control of that dialogue and, in parallel, approached a select group of alternative buyers to establish competitive tension. With PwC already familiar with the business, SCD accelerated the process, driving the timetable and bringing forward a formal offer.
SCD Value Add
SCD negotiated a structure that met both parties’ objectives, including consideration mix, deferred components and performance conditions, project managed all parties and their advisers to preserve momentum and keep the process focused on completion, and applied deep sector expertise and speed of execution, compressing the timetable without compromising the commercial outcome.
SCD leveraged their industry knowledge to our benefit. They understood the nuances of selling into a partnership from day one, were tactical in how they handled each conversation to keep every party moving, and negotiated hard on the terms that mattered most to us. From first conversation to signed deal, they were always a step ahead.
