AC Corporate Transaction Services (ACCTS) is a founder-led corporate transaction advisory firm that helps boards, shareholders, and owner-managed businesses design, execute, and integrate complex corporate transactions across Africa and emerging markets.
We specialise in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, corporate unbundling, shareholder transitions, and post-deal integration. Operating at the intersection of strategy, governance, and execution. Our work is characterised by hands-on leadership, disciplined financial and regulatory rigour, and a deep understanding of operating realities in multi-jurisdictional environments.
ACCTS is led by Guy Addison, a Chartered Accountant and enterprise-scale corporate development executive, with over two decades of experience executing and integrating transactions for listed groups, sovereign investors, and owner-managed businesses. Having operated inside complex organisations and across multiple African markets, we bring operator-level judgment to advisory mandates—ensuring transactions are not only closed, but structurally sound, governable, and value-accretive.
We engage and act as an extension of leadership teams during moments of strategic change—providing clarity, confidence, and disciplined execution from transaction conception through to integration and value realisation.

OUR SERVICES
Comprehensive Transaction Solutions
Transaction Support
Transaction support is where deals are won or lost. It’s the disciplined, behind-the-scenes work that gives boards and buyers confidence to proceed — and gives sellers the evidence to defend value. At AC Corporate Transaction Services we assemble, test and present the numbers, contracts, risks and operational detail that sit beneath the headline price: financial and tax diligence, vendor packs, data room curation, SPA support, and readiness for regulatory submissions.
Transaction Administration
Transaction Administration is the discipline that keeps a deal clean, compliant, and moving. At AC Corporate Transaction Services we run the mechanics of the transaction — CP tracking, board and shareholder resolutions, data room control, signature packs, regulatory filings, closing bibles and post-closing obligations — so principals, lawyers and financiers aren’t bogged down in admin. We make sure the right documents are in the right format, approved by the right authority delivered on time.
Transaction Strategy & Design
Transaction strategy and design is about making the deal serve the business, not the other way around. Helping founders, boards and investors clarify the strategic reason for a transaction — growth, exit, consolidation, capital, or unbundling — and then architect the deal so value is protected all the way from intent to integration.
Fiduciary Services
Fiduciary Services at AC Corporate Transaction Services ensure that directors, shareholders and trustees discharge their duties properly when a transaction, restructure or succession event is on the table. We help boards interpret their Companies Act and common-law obligations, document decisions, manage conflicts of interest, and evidence that value, fairness and solvency were properly considered. That can include independent assessments, board and shareholder packs, oversight of valuations.
Investment Services
Investment services at AC Corporate Transaction Services are built to connect credible capital with executable growth stories. We help owners, boards and management teams define how much capital is actually needed, what form it should take (equity, quasi-equity, debt, strategic), and which investors are most aligned to the strategy and governance of the business. From investment memoranda and financial models to negotiating termsheets and preparing management for investor scrutiny.
Transaction Brokering
Transaction brokering is about matching the right opportunity with the right counterparty at the right moment. At AC Corporate Transaction Services we originate, qualify and discreetly approach buyers, investors or partners who have a strategic or financial reason to do your deal — and we manage interest so you keep control of timing, information and price. We prepare the teaser and IM, run structured buyer lists, handle NDAs and Q&A, and create competitive tension to protect value.
