Frequently Asked
Questions
Do you offer a pilot or demo engagement before full onboarding?
Yes, we offer pilot or trial engagements to help clients evaluate our capabilities before full-scale onboarding. The duration and scope of the pilot may vary based on the nature of the services, specific work expectations, and the availability of Windy Street team members.
Can we scale the team quickly during high-deal volume periods?
We recognize the inherent volatility of the M&A market and offer an on-demand engagement model that allows clients to scale resources flexibly without long-term commitments. To support this approach, we maintain a pool of experienced deal professionals specializing in Financial Due Diligence, Valuations, and Modelling who are not assigned to any specific client. During peak deal periods, we can rapidly expand your team by leveraging this on-demand resource pool. Additional considerations related to this model can be discussed in detail to tailor the solution to your needs.
Can you assist with due diligence and financial modelling for acquisitions?
Absolutely. Our transaction advisory team comprises over 50 professionals specializing in Financial Due Diligence, Valuations, and Financial Modelling. More than 90% of our team members have Big-4 backgrounds, with an average of over five years of relevant experience in the U.S. market. We offer comprehensive, end-to-end financial due diligence and modelling support delivered seamlessly from India.
How long does it take to hire and onboard new team members?
The typical hiring and onboarding timeline ranges from 1 to 3 months, primarily due to standard notice period requirements in India. Most professionals are contractually obligated to serve a notice period of up to 90 days with their current employers before transitioning to a new role.
We proactively manage this timeline by maintaining a strong talent pipeline and, where possible, identifying candidates in advance to minimize delays.
How do you ensure quality control and review of client deliverables?
Under dedicated team model – we recommend structuring the offshore team with a clearly defined hierarchical pyramid. This framework facilitates multiple levels of internal review within the offshore team, ensuring that all work products undergo thorough vetting before being delivered to the U.S. client team. This approach helps maintain high-quality standards and accuracy in all client deliverables.
For on-demand team – our team comprises multiple senior level professionals with deep subject matter expertise who review all the deliverables before it is shared with the Client.
