We solely focus on providing the information, insight and facilitation needed to make the right decisions – not on providing ongoing, and often expensive, consulting services.

Temple’s flexible service model gives clients access to experienced investment experts and focuses on client current needs. Our core team is deliberately small and its members have worked closely together for years. 

The team is augmented with trusted experts as needed in a focused manner. This approach provides clients with small-firm client focus and the benefits of large-firm expertise without the costs.

 

This flexIble model AND strong focus provides our clients with:

excellent cost-benefit balance

Temple’s fees are scalable, recognising the stage of investment, and suited to the size of the investment – typically from US$10-100m

The
Right People

The team we assemble will include only those whose experience and expertise is directly relevant to the problem at hand. We don’t provide a leveraged-juniors model.

TRUE
INDEPENDENCE

Our fees are not determined by whether or not you choose to proceed with an investment.

Temple’s operating model was very useful for us. The team leader brought in other team members on an as-needed basis… I felt we got serious bang for buck.

CEO, The New Zealand Institute

Where we differ

We stand out by providing world-class, fit-for-purpose, independent rigour on direct investments for clients across New Zealand, Australia and beyond.

TOP TIER CONSULTING FIRMS: 
These firms are an excellent source of advice for investments over USD100m however are rarely cost effective for smaller investments (in the range of US$10m to US$100m). 

INVESTMENT BANKS:
Investment Banks can be an excellent advisor on deal structure, potential targets, general strategic advice, negotiations, valuations and capital raising. On occasions, in particular when the target or segment has been identified, Temple is able to provide advice that is independent because our fees are unchanged by the final investment decision.

“BIG FOUR” ACCOUNTING FIRMS:
Big Four firms operate a highly leveraged model that requires more junior, less experienced, staff to be deployed on projects. Moreover, these firms have high overhead costs and compliance structures that can make fit-for-purpose engagement, aligned with a client’s often rapidly evolving needs as they explore an opportunity, difficult and expensive.
