Advisory

We know what your sector is worth.

The public consolidators in your vertical set the price of every acquisition you bid on, the multiple you will be valued at, and the standard your lenders hold you to. We follow them as investors, not as advisors chasing a fee.

Bought them. Sold them. Run one.

We have underwritten industrial businesses from the private equity side, sold them from the banking side, and carried the chief financial officer’s chair inside one. Rarely is there anyone else in the room who has done all three.

We work with chief executives, finance leaders and boards at private and public industrial companies. Defined workstreams on a monthly retainer, a small number at a time.

Roll up strategy

Target screening, valuation discipline and the sequencing of a multi year program. Roll ups fail on capacity, not pipeline. We set the pace against leverage headroom, integration bandwidth and the point where density starts to pay.

Restructuring

Capital structures that have stopped working. Lender negotiation, covenant resets, refinancing, balance sheet repair. The case is built on a forecast a credit committee will accept, not one written to win the meeting.

Turnarounds

Underperforming companies and divisions. First we settle what is actually broken: the asset, the operating model or the management. Then we build the plan and stay to run it.

Embedded CFO advisory

The strategic finance seat, not the reporting one. A capital allocation framework that ranks every claim on the next dollar against the return it has to clear. Sell side and buy side support when a process goes live.

We do not accept an advisory mandate from a company in which we hold a position, and we do not take a position in a company we advise. Advisory work never informs an investment decision, and client information is never used anywhere else in the firm.
