Our Corporate Finance and Strategy Consulting business vertical (CFSC), is the original business vertical of AbacusConsulting. This is where our success story started and other business verticals took birth as we continued to diversify.
We have a history of working together with global leaders in corporate finance and strategy. We were PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Pakistan up until 2003 when PwC was restructured globally and its consulting arm divested in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have joined forces with several global financial and technical firms, as local lead-partners on-ground experts and project managers on various national projects. These include, in addition to PwC, Rothschild, Morgan Grenfell (now Deutsche Bank), Bear Stearns (now JPMorgan Chase), PB Power, Gas Technologies, Freehills and many others.
Solutions we offer here cover the full breadth of financial needs for businesses operating in today’s increasingly complex and competitive global environment. Whether it is privatization, public-private partnership or an entirely private sector alliance or divestiture; a greenfield venture or a brownfield project; a due diligence exercise, a feasibility study or a strategic business plan; identification of strategic investors, buyers, sellers or financers; compliance with CDM project requirements or CER trading; or simply doing business in Pakistan, we equip our clients with tools, analyses, and strategic advice to take informed decisions and the right steps towards a successful outcome.
