Build more enterprise value with our accounting + finance engineers

 

You've built something valuable. Now it's time to futureproof it.

Buyers pay premium multiples for companies with clean financials, operational excellence, and sustainable growth stories — not potential. We prepare founders and PE sponsors for successful exits through multi-year value creation programs that improve EBITDA, professionalize operations, and position companies for maximum valuation. Get you transaction-ready, faster. 

Who We Work With

Here are common challenges and pain points that show a company has outgrown its current approach.

Choose Here
  • Founders + Equity Partners
  • CFOs
  • PE Operating Partners
  • Investment Bankers

If You're a Founder Planning Your Exit:

  • You want to sell in 12-36 months but don't know where to start
  • EBITDA isn't optimized — leaving money on the table
  • Financial operations are messy from years of "growth first, clean up later"
  • Systems and processes reflect your startup days, not institutional buyer expectations
  • Worried about valuation — comparables are getting 7-8x but you might get 5-6x
  • Don't want to spend your last 2 years fixing problems you could address now

If You're a CFO Preparing for Exit:

  • Leadership set exit timeline but finance isn't ready
  • EBITDA has too much noise (one-time expenses, owner adjustments, inconsistencies)
  • Systems are outdated — still on QuickBooks when buyers expect ERP-grade NetSuite or Sage Intacct prep work
  • No standardized KPIs or management reporting
  • Working capital is unpredictable
  • Financial story doesn't support the multiple you're targeting

If You're a Private Equity Partner Prepping for Sale:

  • Hold period is ending (Year 4 of 5), and the company isn't exit-ready
  • EBITDA growth has stalled — need operational improvements
  • Portfolio company lacks the financial sophistication buyers expect
  • Value creation plan incomplete — some initiatives delivered, others didn't
  • Risk of selling for a lower multiple due to operational immaturity

If You're an Investment Banker:

  • Client wants to go to market, but financials aren't market-ready
  • Will struggle to tell a compelling growth story with current reporting
  • Know buyers will discount valuation for operational issues
  • Need 12-18 months of preparation, but your client wants to move now
