Systemic advisors for turning points

A turning point rarely announces itself politely.

It arrives as a liquidity squeeze, a change of ownership, a generation handing over, or growth the structure can no longer carry.

METAFRAST exists for that moment — not for a company's daily routine, but for the decision that changes its trajectory.

The name is Greek for “to translate”, “to render anew”: our role is to turn a complex situation, usually under pressure, into a plan the leadership team can execute with confidence.

We do not simply deliver a report. We stay in the room until the plan becomes a result.

What we do

Five areas, one purpose: clarity at the moment of decision.

I M&A Advisory Sell-side and buy-side for shareholders and boards — valuation, positioning, negotiation and structuring, focused on real value rather than headline price. II Transition Plan Ownership change, leadership handover or reorganisation — sequenced so the company keeps running while the structure changes. III Growth Strategy The difference between growth supported by facts and growth assumed in slides — capital allocation and initiatives that actually move the result. IV Program Management Running the transformation itself — cash discipline, governance cadence, alignment between investors, banks and management. V C-Level Guidance Confidential counsel for CEOs, boards and investors deciding under time pressure and incomplete information. The detail of each area See expertise →

Method

Three stages, the same team from day one to execution.

I · Diagnose

We establish the company's real position — financial, operational, structural — beyond what current reporting shows.

II · Structure

We design the plan: sequencing, governance, communication to investors, banks and the team — with explicit risk scenarios.

III · Execute

We stay involved in execution, not only in the recommendation — because a good plan left unexecuted changes nothing.

First principle

Everything is systemic and interconnected.

A financial decision affects people, a leadership decision affects the numbers, and the inner state of the person deciding affects both. We do not treat symptoms in isolation.

Who we work with

Companies at a moment of ownership change, pressure or acceleration.

We work mainly with founder-owned and fund-owned companies in financial services and technology-adjacent industries, principally across Central and Eastern Europe.

The team is led by an executive with over 25 years in CEO, COO and board roles, with direct exposure to restructurings, ownership transitions and complex operational transformations.
