Financial Sponsor Advisory

Private equity firms don’t always have the internal resources to manage portfolio companies efficiently and effectively. Our team has an intimate understanding of the financial and operational nuances of various types of companies: manufacturing, services, distribution, healthcare, food & beverage, media, and technology.

Our Edge

We’re committed to meeting your business needs efficiently, responsively, and successfully. Our approach is to identify issues early in the process and to communicate our findings throughout the engagement – not just in the final report. We notify our clients of any major issues immediately so that these issues may be addressed as quickly as possible. We’re equipped with tax and forensic accounting resources that aid our ability to respond quickly to requests, whether domestic or international.
