A message from our Managing Director, Graham Morgan

Morgan Shaw Advisory (MSA) is a Boutique M&A Corporate Advisory Firm in Sydney, that uniquely offers business owners an all-encompassing EBITDA+ Six Steps to Success™ program, M&A Transaction services, our full Strategic Advisory Services and our array of Coaching and Mentoring Programs.

We offer these specific services to help business owners not only maximise the value of their business, but maximise every opportunity to sell their business leaving nothing on the table.

MSA wants to see business owners significantly improve the value of their business way before a transaction. This is what we refer to as Game Ready. And when it finally does come to a transaction, whether that be a capital raise, an acquisition, an IPO, or an exit/sale of the business, MSA will manage the entire process from beginning to end.

Facilitating business growth through innovative
M&A and strategic advisory services

  • EBITDA+ Six Steps to Success™ is the proven approach MSA has developed to significantly improve the performance of a business, make it less dependent on the owner, and get it ‘Game Ready’ to take full advantage of opportunities that may arise.

    Our transparent methodology and comprehensive guide will be essential to overcome the complexity of realising and releasing business asset value.

    EBITDA+ Six Steps to Success™ is our formula to maximise the value of your business.

  • We help set the values and vision that lay the foundation for strategic short and long-term planning. We specialise in crafting business roadmaps that align with your organisational goals, guiding you toward success. Our approach includes accountable 90-day team deliverable management plans, ensuring a focused and results-driven execution. We provide crucial process and structure support to streamline operations, coupled with leadership team building and personalized 121 mentoring for sustained growth.

    We’ll facilitate workshops, elevate your strategic thinking, assess your marketing, sales, operations, and people & culture and provide personal ongoing support to fortify these pillars of your business.

    Most importantly, we help business owners establish strong succession plans that enable them to move on to their next adventure, whatever that may be.

  • Circumstances change and most business owners will at some point consider exiting their business, whether as a straightforward sale, an IPO, or a merger.

    Our mission is to improve the value of your business through the transaction process and increase the chances of a successful sale.

    It is important to safeguarding your legacy, and we will guide you through this intricate journey to find the right buyer for your business.

    Most of the heavy lifting will be done by us, and we will ensure a seamless process and minimise the effort and distraction caused for shareholders and management. Our goal is to simplify the process and minimise the stress and pressure at sale time.

    Over the years, our team has been involved in numerous transactions and in many cases sat on the buyer’s side of the table. We know what a potential buyer will look for when screening your business, every step of the way.

  • In the dynamic landscape of business, where challenges are inevitable, seeking extra support is crucial. MSA recognises the significance of additional support, not only for business owners but also for their teams.

    Our commitment is to offer a unique blend of expertise and encouragement tailored to bridge knowledge gaps within your business, and there are multiple programs to choose from:

    1. CEO and C-Suite
    Peer-to-peer coaching and mentoring (The Executive Connection)

    2. 121 coaching and mentoring for Exec Team/Leadership team individual, one-on-one.

    3. 1-to-many coaching and mentoring (Senior Leadership Teams as a group)

We Care.

The MSA Difference:

  • We provide a combination of Strategy Advisory, M&A Transaction as well as individual, team or peer-to-peer Coaching & Mentoring services.

  • We always look at our client’s business through ‘buyer’s eyes’.

  • We ensure our clients are ‘Game Ready’ in advance of an event, maximising the value prior to any transaction.

  • We ‘walk alongside’ our clients on their journey and as a team, so business owners get all of us.

MSA was founded on three key principles:

  1. We help business owners realise their personal and professional ambitions and create the business they always wanted.

  2. We help business owners release the maximum value for their business when they decide to sell.

  3. We minimise the stress and pressure, and keep business owners and everyone involved safe and sane.

    We initially engaged with MSA to provide us an advisory board function to help us grow and mature our business.
