Integration & Separation Advisory
We help you make your post-deal integrations and divestitures a success
Our services: Integration Advisory
After you make the deal, make it deliver.
If you are looking to acquire a company or if you are just before or after closing, Deloitte’s expert integration team in Switzerland can provide you with leading capabilities and experience. Without experience, knowledge, proven and tested methodologies and tools, or the right governance and structures in place, the integration itself can become difficult to steer, costs may exceed expectations, and synergy benefits may never be realised.

Deloitte’s dedicated M&A Integration Advisory practice offers the knowledge, proven methodology, experience, and execution-oriented skills gained over the course of hundreds of transactions.
We have a clearly defined approach and methodology to cover your integration from a central planning perspective, as well as all from a corporate function perspective, including finance, human resources, information technology, research and development, sales and marketing, supply chain, procurement, etc. We provide tailored planning and execution based on tested experiences, saving you valuable time and decreasing your risks.
Our Swiss practice is part of a large cross-border team ensuring that we are locally present, wherever you are.
