Background

About Philipp Buling

Driving successful M&A outcomes by bridging the gap between complex financial data and strategic investment decisions. At KPMG's Deal Advisory practice in Frankfurt, I play an integral role in the M&A lifecycle, performing critical financial analysis on transactions ranging from €30M to €14B for leading private equity funds and corporate acquirers. My work goes beyond traditional due diligence; I build comprehensive financial models, valuation bridges, and Quality of Earnings (QoE) analyses that directly inform investment theses and negotiation strategies. By leveraging Alteryx and Python, I automate data-intensive processes, reducing analysis cycles by over 20% and empowering deal teams with the speed and precision required in time-sensitive transactions. From identifying hidden value levers to flagging critical risks in complex datasets, I transform raw numbers into a clear narrative that enables stakeholders to move forward with confidence.
