Private Equity Consulting
Private Equity Consulting
In-depth knowledge for private equity firms and portfolio companies are delivered through consistent partner attention and team communication.
Paying for a big name may seem important for financial services, but getting timely communication is paramount. When choosing a firm to manage the comprehensive accounting, tax planning and business consulting needs of a private equity firm and for their portfolio companies, a trusted working relationship makes all the difference.
For private equity firms
You need timely quality of earnings analysis and transaction due diligence. You want insight on future tax impacts for your existing portfolio and future transactions. You need experienced advisors who understand how accounting standards impact valuation.
For portfolio companies
You need an advisory team to help you enhance operations and manage expenses. You want revenue growth and value creation for your equity investors, but also guidance for expansion, M&A targets or a future IPO. You need to understand your risks and your opportunities.
I want to emphasize that we go where the client needs us. We have clients with assets across the country. We have remote capabilities, and we will also meet them in person to build a trusted consulting relationship.
