Project-based & retained research
01 — Quantitative

Research & Analysis

Financial modelling, valuations, and screening — accelerated with AI tooling, reviewed by hand, built to hold up under scrutiny.

02 — Qualitative

Research & Analysis

Industry context and company intelligence, researched at AI speed and refined by a senior analyst — built for pitch decks, diligence, and boardrooms.

03 — ESG

Solutions

Regulatory-grade ESG data, risk assessment, and benchmarking for businesses that need sustainability claims to survive an audit.

Quantitative Research & Analysis

Every model we deliver is built to be interrogated — by your board, your investors, or your own second-guessing.

01

Financial Modelling

Three-statement and scenario models built for the decision at hand — flexible enough to survive the follow-up questions.

02

Screening — Investor & Target

Structured filtering of investors or acquisition targets against the criteria that actually matter to your mandate.

03

Peer Analysis & Benchmarking

Where you stand against the market that matters — sized, sourced, and defensible.

04

Financial Statement Analysis

Beyond the ratios — reading a set of accounts for what it implies about quality of earnings, not just their size.

05

Comparable Analysis

Company and transaction comparables selected with the same discipline we'd want applied to our own work.

06

Valuations

DCF, relative, and precedent-based valuation — triangulated, not cherry-picked to fit a target number.

07

Transaction Screening

Early-stage filtering of deal flow so diligence time goes to the opportunities worth the hours.

Qualitative Research & Analysis

The context and narrative that sit alongside the numbers — built to explain the decision, not just support it.

01

Deep-Dive Company Profiles

Structured, sourced profiles covering business model, leadership, ownership, and positioning — built for diligence, not a desktop scan.

02

Pitch Decks

Investment and client-facing decks that carry the argument, not just the template — built to be presented, not just read.

03

M&A Case Studies

Precedent transactions unpacked — rationale, structure, and outcome — to inform how the next deal should be framed.

04

Industry Overviews

Structure, dynamics, and outlook for a sector — sized and sourced well enough to open a pitch or ground a thesis.

05

Competitive Landscape Analysis

Mapping who competes on what — positioning, share, and differentiation — so a market view holds up under questioning.

06

Secondary General Research

Fast, well-sourced research across public filings, press, and data providers to answer the open questions in a brief.

How We Work

AI for speed and scale. Senior judgement for everything that has to be right.

01

AI-Accelerated Research

Exhaustive first-pass research and data-gathering at a speed manual work can't match — filings, press, and data providers scanned in parallel.

02

Workflow Automation & Agents

In-house automation and agents handle the repetitive parts of modelling, screening, and reporting, freeing senior time for judgement calls.

03

AI-Assisted Deliverables

Decks, first-cut models, and drafts produced faster with AI tooling, then refined by hand until they're ready for a room that will push back.

04

Human Verification, Always

Every output is reviewed and owned by a senior person before it reaches you. Non-negotiable — the AI accelerates the work, it doesn't sign off on it.

Who We Serve

Built for teams who need research and numbers they can put in front of an investment committee — not just a client.

01

Investment Banks & Boutique Investment Firms

Deal-ready modelling, comps, and valuation support that plugs straight into live mandates and pitch timelines — with the senior-level bandwidth boutiques need without building it in-house.

02

Advisory Firms

Independent, defensible analysis to back the recommendations you put in front of clients.

03

Private Equity & Venture Capital Firms

Target screening, diligence support, and benchmarking across the deal lifecycle, from sourcing to exit.

04

Family Offices

Discreet, rigorous research across direct investments, allocations, and manager due diligence.

05

Corporate Development & M&A Teams

In-house deal teams get external capacity for screening, valuation, and business-case analysis at pace.

06

Asset & Wealth Managers

Peer benchmarking, portfolio analysis, and ESG data to support allocation and reporting decisions.

How We Serve

The practice lines our research and modelling capabilities come together to deliver.

01

Transaction / Deal Advisory

Buy-side and sell-side support across the deal lifecycle — screening, comparables, valuation, and modelling brought together for the mandate at hand.

02

Financial & Commercial Due Diligence

Quality-of-earnings-style review of a target's numbers and market position — reading a set of accounts for what it implies, not just what it states.

03

Valuation Advisory

DCF, relative, and precedent-based valuation delivered as a standalone engagement — fairness opinions, internal marks, and portfolio valuations included.

04

Market & Competitive Intelligence

Industry structure, peer benchmarking, and competitive positioning brought together into a single view of where you stand and who you're up against.

05

Portfolio / Investment Monitoring Support

Ongoing benchmarking and reporting for portfolio companies or holdings — a retained complement to project-based deal work.

About AC&T
We built AC&T on a simple premise — good decisions need research that can survive being questioned, delivered at the speed AI now makes possible.

AC&T Partners works across quantitative modelling, qualitative research, and ESG analysis for clients who need more than a polished deck — they need numbers that hold up when someone pushes back on them.

We work as an extension of your team on the analysis that's easy to deprioritize internally but expensive to get wrong: modelling, valuations, benchmarking, and the regulatory and sustainability data increasingly expected alongside them. Our team builds with AI — automation, agents, research at scale — but every deliverable is reviewed and signed off by a senior person before it reaches you.

Approach

Rigorous by default, fast where speed matters more than polish.

Structure

Small, senior team — no handoffs between the person who understands your brief and the one doing the work.

Scope

Quantitative, qualitative, and ESG research under one engagement.

Standard

Every deliverable built to be defended, not just delivered.

Tooling

AI-accelerated research, modelling, and automation — human-verified, always.
