Trusted counsel for decisions that define companies.
A boutique advisory practice guiding shareholders, boards and international institutions through acquisitions, divestitures and cross-border transactions connecting Turkey and Europe.
01 — THE FIRM
A small practice, by design.
Istanbul M&A Consulting and Advisory advises a select number of clients each year. Mandates are led personally, from first conversation to closing — no hand-offs, no layers.
We work alongside business owners, private equity, and international financial institutions on the transactions that matter most: the sale of a company, a strategic acquisition, a capital raise, or entry into the Turkish market.
Our advantage is judgment earned across decades of dealmaking and an intimate understanding of how value is created, negotiated and protected on both sides of the Türkiye–Europe corridor — regulatory, cultural and financial.
The firm operates independently and, where appropriate, in close coordination with leading European investment banks for whom it serves as senior advisor in the region.
“The best advice is candid, prepared and quietly delivered — long before the room gets crowded.”
02 — SERVICES
What we do.
End-to-end advisory across the lifecycle of a transaction, tailored to the situation rather than a fixed product menu.
/ 01 Sell-Side Advisory
Preparing and positioning a business for sale, identifying the right counterparties, and running a competitive, confidential process that maximises value and certainty of close.
/ 02 Buy-Side Advisory
Origination, screening and acquisition of targets — from thesis and outreach through valuation, negotiation and integration planning.
/ 03 Cross-Border Transactions
Bridging European and Turkish parties: structuring, regulatory navigation, FX and tax considerations, and cultural translation across the deal.
/ 04 Valuation & Financial Modelling
Independent valuation, DCF and comparable analyses, and decision-ready models that withstand scrutiny from boards, lenders and counterparties.
/ 05 Capital Raising
Advising on equity and debt financing — preparing materials, approaching investors and lenders, and negotiating terms aligned with shareholder objectives.
/ 06 Strategic & Board Advisory
Trusted-advisor support to owners and boards on strategic options, market entry, partnerships and the long-term positioning of the enterprise.
03 — APPROACH
How we work.
Every mandate is different, but the discipline is constant: thorough preparation, straight talk, and relentless attention to execution.
01 Understand
We begin by listening — to the objective behind the transaction, the constraints, and the outcome that would count as success for the people we represent.
02 Prepare
Rigorous analysis, clean numbers and a clear narrative. We build the case before we enter the market, so that every conversation begins from a position of strength.
03 Execute
Disciplined process management through negotiation, diligence and closing — protecting confidentiality, momentum and our client's interests at every step.
04 — FOCUS
Where we focus.
Sector-agnostic in principle, with particular depth in the areas below and across the Türkiye–Europe transaction corridor.
Financial Services · Industrials & Manufacturing · Technology & Fintech · Consumer & Retail · Energy & Infrastructure · Real Estate · Healthcare · Family-Owned Enterprises
05 — EXPERIENCE
The depth behind the work.
The practice is built on nearly four decades of senior experience across Turkish and international finance — at the level where transactions are decided.
That experience spans the senior leadership of an investment bank and of fintech and electronic-money institutions, group-level financial controllership within one of Türkiye's largest holdings, and senior roles at leading institutions including Koç Holding, Koç Finans, Sümerbank and Deloitte & Touche.
It combines a deep command of mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and tax planning with first-hand experience of the regulation of banks and financial institutions — including direct, executive-level liaison with Türkiye's principal regulators: the BRSA, the SDIF and the Capital Markets Board. This foundation is reinforced by the International Tax Program at Harvard Law School.
