Fujitsu aquisition of MF & Associates (MFA)
Fujitsu is a leading multinational ICT equipment and services corporation. Since 2021, Fujitsu has been making a number of acquisitions in the IT services sector to diversify its service offering and expand its delivery capabilities in Australia and New Zealand. As part of this strategy, Fujitsu developed Uvance, seeking to “help customers grow their businesses and solve societal issues”.
To effect this strategy, Fujitsu identified MFA as an ideal target to boost its DX management consulting capabilities and maximise existing cybersecurity investments while still maintaining alignment with culture.
Nash Advisory was engaged in April 2023 to assist Fujitsu in executing the transaction.

Nash Advisory was engaged in April 2023 to assist Fujitsu in executing the transaction.
Fujitsu’s due diligence team encompassed over 50 individuals between internal workstreams and external advisers. Nash Advisory took on the project management role of the process, conducting consistent all hands / targeted meetings with all involved parties to ensure deadlines were met and the process operated in an efficient manner.
Given Fujitsu’s multinational status, a range of international stakeholders were required to be involved in the process. Nash Advisory used its previous experience with Fujitsu to anticipate internal gates to completing the acquisition and assist the APAC team in appropriately communicating the opportunity and ensuring group alignment on the transaction.
Nash Advisory worked closely with Mazars and the Fujitsu team to model out the working capital profile of the business along with the profit & loss. Regular updates and forecasts were shared with Fujitsu’s APAC and international stakeholders to keep them well-informed about the adjustment process and instil confidence in proceeding with the transaction.
Nash Advisory proposed a particular up-front / deferred payment mechanism for the transaction. This was crafted in a way to ensure that the vendors were satisfied with the outcome of the deal, whilst still protecting Fujitsu from risks that it deemed to be key in the process.
