CORPORATE FINANCE AND TRANSACTION ADVISORY
Advisory from Structure to Exit
Senior-led corporate finance, valuation, and transaction advisory for family offices, investors, and developers across Saudi Arabia and the GCC.
A boutique by design.
PaceMakers Business Consultants is a corporate finance and transaction advisory firm serving family offices, investors, and developers across Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and worldwide. Founded in 2017 and restructured as a limited liability partnership in 2023, the firm is deliberately small, and structured so that seniority is not a scarce resource on your mandate.
The partner wins the engagement, leads it, and reviews every deliverable personally. Analysts and associates are engaged per engagement, so the work is properly resourced without a permanent pyramid to feed. That is a choice, not a limitation: it lets us take fewer mandates, go deeper on each, and stand behind every number we put in front of a board, a lender, or an investment committee.
The firm's own record since 2017. The partner's wider career experience is set out separately, in his profile.

WHAT WE DO
Corporate finance, end to end.
Financial modeling, valuation, due diligence, M&A, project finance, and the investor documentation that closes a transaction. Nine disciplines, one partner leading every one of them.
WHO WE SERVE
Capital allocators who buy advisory on judgment, not headcount.
01 / 04
HOW WE WORK
A four-step engagement model, built around clarity.
- 01
Understand
We start by understanding the mandate, the decision it must support, and the audience the output must convince: board, lender, sponsor, or investor.
- 02
Analyse
Commercial diligence, sector benchmarking, and structural review. Numbers don't exist in a vacuum; we make sure the inputs reflect reality.
- 03
Model
Lender-grade construction. Every assumption visible, every output traceable, every line defensible under scrutiny.
- 04
Advise
Recommendations, structuring options, and capital-raising or transaction support, through to close.
PARTNER-LED DELIVERY
Every mandate is partner-led.

At many boutique firms the partner wins the engagement and hands the work to a junior team. PaceMakers is structured the other way. Ahmad Din, the firm's founding partner, wins and leads every mandate, and reviews every deliverable personally before it reaches a client. Analysts and associates are engaged for each engagement as the work requires.
That is the model sophisticated capital allocators expect: senior judgment on every line of the model, every assumption, and every recommendation, with the capacity to resource the work properly.

Reach across the Gulf, delivery in house.
Two long-standing relationships extend the firm's reach across the Gulf: Sky Gulf in Al Khobar and Lynkers in Manama. Both originate and refer mandates and open local doors. Neither executes them: every engagement is delivered by PaceMakers, partner-led. Meet the network.
A good financial model is not just a calculation. It's a communication tool. Every assumption should be visible, every output should be traceable, and the final product should be something you'd be proud to present to a board or an investor committee without reformatting.
