The US Corporate Finance Landscape

The US is the world's largest and most active M&A market, with a deep and competitive advisory ecosystem. For mid-market and upper-mid-market companies, the challenge is not access to advisors — it's access to truly independent process management that coordinates the advisory ecosystem without being part of it.

ALTA Advisory LLC, the entity behind ExS, is registered in Wyoming, United States — reflecting genuine US market presence and legal grounding for engagements with US-based clients and counterparties.

Where ExS Adds Value in US Mandates

Our primary US value proposition is in cross-border contexts: US companies acquiring or divesting European assets, European or Middle Eastern companies entering the US market through M&A, and PE funds with cross-Atlantic portfolio exposure requiring independent process coordination on either side of the transaction.

For purely domestic US transactions, we work best where the management bandwidth constraint — a CEO who cannot run both the business and the M&A process — is the primary issue, and where an independent, senior process owner adds more value than an additional US M&A boutique.

For US-based investors and family offices pursuing international mandates — European acquisitions, Middle Eastern joint ventures, Asian investments — we provide the European and international market expertise and process management that US-centric advisors typically cannot.

US Mandate Coverage

  • Cross-border M&A: European and Middle Eastern buyers acquiring US targets
  • US PE funds with European or international portfolio company processes
