Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zimark Advisory and how does it work?
Zimark Advisory is an independent advisory firm headquartered in Tokyo. We advise startups, middle-market companies, family offices, and PE/VC investors directly — senior-led, conflict-free, and without the overhead of a traditional firm. Clients are onboarded to an AI-powered portal for project tracking, document exchange, and data room management, so you focus on decisions, not admin.
What kinds of engagements do you take on?
We work across three pillars: Financial Advisory & Analytics — FP&A, valuation, and fractional CFO support for operators and family offices; Transaction Advisory — the full M&A pipeline from pre-deal diligence and financial modelling through to closing; and Quant Investment Research — general economic, policy and industry research for corporate and institutional clients. Zimark also conducts proprietary quantitative research for its own account.
How much does it cost to work with Zimark?
Engagements are structured as hourly (open-ended, tracked via our client portal), fixed-fee (milestone-based for defined deliverables), or monthly retainer (dedicated capacity for ongoing relationships). Where Zimark acts in an advisory capacity on a transaction — not pure analytical heavy-lifting — a success fee component applies alongside the retainer. Scope and budget are agreed upfront.
