Significant private transactions, advised by a specialist team with the right qualifications at the table.
Quinn M&A advises business owners and acquirers on transactions from $1 million to $200 million in enterprise value. Senior-led by Michael Quinn CA and Solicitor, supported by an integrated specialist team across accounting, law, valuation, tax and transaction execution.
Confidential. No obligation. We respond within 1 business day.
Accounting depth. Legal authority. Transaction discipline. All under one roof.
Quinn M&A is built around a combination most advisory firms can't offer. The firm is led by Michael Quinn — a Chartered Accountant and Solicitor — and staffed with a specialist team across valuation, tax, structuring, legal drafting and transaction management. That breadth changes what we can do for you at every stage of a deal.
Transactions hit complexity in valuation methodology, tax structure, warranties, or due diligence scope. With accounting, legal and execution expertise sitting inside one firm, there are no gaps, no delays translating between external advisers, and no advice that contradicts itself at the negotiating table.

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.
Sell-side advisory
Structured sale processes designed to protect confidentiality, attract the right buyers, and maximise value through competitive tension and rigorous preparation. From readiness to completion.
Explore sell-side advisory → 02Buy-side advisory
Target identification, approach strategy, due diligence coordination, valuation support and deal execution — without the conflicts of interest that come with larger firm mandates.
Explore buy-side advisory → 03Mergers
Strategic combinations, shareholder reorganisations and pre-transaction restructuring. We align commercial outcome with tax position and legal structure from the outset.
Enquire → 04Business valuations
Independent, methodology-driven valuations for M&A, tax, estate planning, partner exit or dispute purposes. Prepared by a CA ANZ Specialist Business Valuer with supporting documentation.
Request a valuation → 05Due diligence
Financial, tax and legal diligence coordinated by one adviser so findings translate directly into deal structure and contract drafting — not another advisory hand-off.
Enquire → 06Tax advice & legal services
Specialist taxation advice and legal services integrated into every transaction. Structuring, CGT concessions, warranties and completion — handled by the same adviser running your deal.

transactions.
Mid-market scale.
We advise on transactions where getting the structure right is as important as getting the price right. Often more. Our work concentrates in the Australian mid-market — typically between $1 million and $200 million in enterprise value.
A structured process that
protects you throughout.
The goal is not activity — it's leverage, clarity and a clean path to completion. Every stage is designed to protect your confidentiality, maintain negotiating momentum and keep you informed so you can make decisions with confidence.
Confidential discovery
Understand your objectives, timeline, constraints and what a successful outcome looks like — before anything else moves.
Preparation & value narrative
Build the investment story, address readiness issues and prepare the materials that support your position in buyer discussions.
Targeted buyer engagement
Controlled, confidential outreach to qualified buyers. NDAs and staged disclosure protect your business from day one of market engagement.
Offers & negotiation
Evaluate proposals, manage competing interest and negotiate terms with commercial logic — accounting, legal and tax dimensions considered together.
Due diligence coordination
Keep the process organised and moving. Coordinate information requests, manage disclosure and protect momentum through the most demanding phase.
Completion
Drive to signing with clear accountability, follow-through on conditions and the calm hand of an adviser who has done this many times before.
"Senior, dual-qualified leadership — backed by a specialist team across every discipline a transaction needs."
Quinn M&A is led by Michael Quinn, a Chartered Accountant since 1984 and a Solicitor admitted to the Supreme Court of NSW since 1995. His dual qualification is rare in Australian mid-market advisory and means transactions move forward without the gaps that emerge when financial and legal advice sit with separate firms.
Michael personally leads every Quinn M&A mandate and is supported by a specialist team across the broader Quinns Group. Chartered accountants, solicitors, tax specialists, business valuers and transaction support staff work alongside him on every engagement — so clients get senior leadership at the helm and a fully resourced team underneath.
