Evolution Capital’s EC Analytics Platform Attracts Global Attention

Earlier this month, Ian Fishwick and Sam Godfrey of Evolution Capital were featured on the NZ365 Guy Podcast – the largest Microsoft-centred podcast in Asia, with an audience reaching well over 400,000 professionals and decision makers.

Broadcast from New Zealand, the episode explored the growing international interest in EC Analytics, the proprietary platform developed by Evolution Capital to modernise and streamline the financial due diligence process.

The conversation began with Ian’s reflections on a major transaction he led in 2023, in which the financial reporting alone ran to 300 pages. It was a familiar challenge to anyone who has been involved in M&A: dense documentation, static formatting, and the inevitable search for critical information buried within.

“In a world where technology gives us instant access in every other sphere, I no longer wanted to spend my weekends hunting through hundreds of pages to make sense of the data,” Ian noted.

That insight gave rise to EC Analytics, a platform designed to allow acquirers and stakeholders to interact directly with the data, interpret it in their own financial language, and update it as required without resorting to costly new reports.

The podcast highlighted three key flaws in conventional due diligence and how EC Analytics addresses them:

• It provides dynamic interactivity, replacing passive reports
• It reconfigures financials in the buyer’s preferred format
• It delivers live, up-to-date data with the press of a button

Available in two formats – Virtual CFO for single-entity companies and CFO Assist for more complex group structures – EC Analytics is fast becoming a benchmark for modern dealmaking.

That the platform is now attracting attention from the farthest corners of the globe is a testament to its relevance, its functionality, and the practical expertise that underpins it.
