US & UK Deal Teams
Offshore deal support, without the offshore compromise
Financial modelling, earnings quality analysis and diligence support for deal teams in the United States and United Kingdom — performed directly by CA Pranay Bhansali from Bengaluru, with scope and delivery dates agreed before work begins.
Written by CA Pranay Bhansali, Founder & Principal, Volaxi — Chartered Accountant (ICAI), former senior buy-side research analyst.

The gap this fills
A defined analytical workstream, without adding a permanent role.
Transaction work arrives unevenly. Volaxi gives US and UK teams a way to assign a clearly bounded model, databook or diligence schedule when internal capacity is committed elsewhere. CA Pranay Bhansali performs the work personally; there is no analyst pool, hand-off chain or delivery centre behind the engagement.
Who this is built for
Search funds & independent sponsors
You are underwriting a deal without dedicated analytical capacity. Pranay builds the operating model, tests the seller's EBITDA, sizes working capital and stress-tests the debt structure for the transaction you are pursuing.
CPA, advisory & QoE firms — white-label
When a defined workstream needs additional capacity, Pranay runs the analytical build behind your brand: databooks, earnings quality schedules, working capital analysis and draft exhibits in your format. You review, sign and deliver.
Lower mid-market private equity
Lean deal teams can assign a defined model build, portfolio reporting pack or bolt-on analysis while retaining investment judgement and review internally.
UK corporate finance boutiques
Information memorandum financials, integrated forecasts, vendor diligence support and valuation work, on a UK working day that overlaps almost entirely with a Bengaluru one.
The capacity choice, stated plainly
No unsupported salary or market-fee ranges. The relevant choice is how you want the work staffed and reviewed.
| Route | How it works |
|---|---|
| Permanent hire | Continuous capacity and management responsibility, whether or not a transaction is live. |
| Large advisory team | Broad institutional coverage, with staffing and scope determined by the appointed firm. |
| Volaxi | A defined workstream performed directly by CA Pranay Bhansali, quoted per deal or by an agreed block of hours. |
The overnight cycle
01
You send the agreed workstream
Data tape, trial balances, the seller's model and a marked-up list of the questions to be answered.
02
Work continues across the time-zone gap
Bengaluru's working day overlaps with the UK and begins while US teams are offline.
03
You receive the agreed delivery
Updated schedules, the model and a short note stating what changed and what still needs your decision, on the timetable agreed at scoping.
How firms engage
Per deal
A single transaction, scoped and quoted up front: model, earnings quality analysis, valuation, or the full set. Most first engagements start here.
Block of hours
A monthly or quarterly block drawn down across live deals. Useful once the working relationship is established and the load is uneven but constant.
White-label
Unbranded deliverables in your house format and templates, delivered to your review standard. Your client sees your firm.
The analytical work itself is described under core engagements — modelling, valuation, quality of earnings and diligence support. Method and standard do not change with geography.
What Volaxi will not claim
- Volaxi is not a US CPA firm, a UK statutory auditor or a registered valuation professional in either jurisdiction. Work that requires a signed opinion under those standards is signed by your firm or a licensed firm you appoint.
- No audit, no attest, no assurance. The analysis is prepared on information you and the target provide and is not independently verified unless the scope explicitly says so.
- No promise that an offshore analyst replaces a partner's judgement. The judgement stays with you. The build, the reconciliation and the schedules come from here.
Questions firms ask first
- Can you issue a quality of earnings report?
- Volaxi prepares the analysis — normalized EBITDA with every adjustment evidenced, working capital and net debt schedules, the databook and the draft exhibits. Where a signed report is required under a US or UK professional standard, the issuing firm signs it. That is the honest position, and it is the arrangement most advisory firms outsourcing to India already run.
- How do confidentiality and data handling work?
- An NDA is executed before information moves. Files stay in your data room or your cloud drive where you prefer it that way; nothing is retained beyond the engagement without your written instruction.
- Who actually does the work?
- CA Pranay Bhansali, a chartered accountant, personally. This is a specialist practice, not a delivery centre routing your deal to whoever is free. That limits capacity — and it is why the work is consistent.
- What does it cost?
- Quoted in writing per deal or per block of hours before anything starts, from an Indian cost base rather than a New York or London one. Ask for a scope on a live deal and you will have a number within a business day.
- Why offshore at all if labour is cheap where you are?
- The case is flexible access to a specific practitioner, not a claim about a large labour pool. A US or UK deal team can assign a defined analytical workstream to CA Pranay Bhansali without adding a permanent role. The commercial terms and delivery dates are agreed before work begins.
Put a live deal in front of it
Before you send
No confidential detail is needed at this stage — sector, size and the question you need answered are enough to scope it. An NDA is executed before any information moves.
If you would rather see the standard of work first, the deal benchmarks, valuation case study and technical guides are all public. A complete sample financial model is available on request.
