The M&A advisor who can read the accounting, write the legal advice, and run the deal.
Most M&A advisors are strong in one discipline. Michael Quinn is both — a Chartered Accountant since 1984 and a Solicitor registered in the Supreme Court of NSW since 1995. That foundation, combined with a specialist team across accounting, law, and transaction management, changes what we can do for you at every stage of a deal.
Commercial and legal depth
Transactions hit complexity—in valuation methodology, tax structure, warranties, or due diligence scope. Having accounting and legal expertise in one advisor means no gaps, no delays translating between disciplines, and no advice that contradicts itself at the table.
Registered valuation expertise
Michael is a Specialist Business Valuer with CA ANZ and a Registered Business Valuer with the AIBB. Valuation isn't a rough estimate—it's a documented position, grounded in methodology, built to hold up in negotiation and due diligence.
Structured process, controlled risk
We run a defined process: preparation, controlled buyer engagement, staged disclosure, offers, negotiation, and completion support. Every step has a purpose. Confidentiality is protected throughout. Nothing is left to chance.
Advice that holds up under scrutiny.
Whether you're selling a business you've spent years building, acquiring strategically, or preparing for either—our work is built around disciplined process, commercial rigour, and protection of your confidentiality at every stage.

30 years of accounting, law, and deal experience—in one advisor.
Michael Quinn began his career at Deloitte in 1978. He graduated from the University of New South Wales with a Commerce degree in 1982, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1984. Following his registration as a Solicitor in the Supreme Court of NSW in 1995, he has spent more than two decades focused on M&A advisory for owners of private businesses.
His qualifications span accounting, law, taxation, audit, business valuation, and company governance. In practice, that means he understands the full picture of a transaction—not just the financial model, but the legal risk, the tax structuring, the stakeholder dynamics, and the negotiation strategy. Most advisors have one of these lenses. Michael has all of them.
Michael is supported by a specialist team with deep expertise across accounting, commercial law, and transaction management. Clients get Michael's personal involvement and the depth that a dedicated team brings to every engagement.
