Over more than a decade, our team has been on the inside of multiple buy-and-build transactions, acquired and integrated founder-led firms, and successfully exited businesses. We have also advised founders and investors on both buy-side and sell-side mandates. That experience shapes everything we do.

People Businesses are Different

We advise from first-hand knowledge of buying, building, and selling people businesses, combining strategic judgement with practical execution.

Price, Strucure, Promises

We’ve lived the consequences of getting these right and wrong. We understand how incentives, expectations, and commitments shape outcomes long after completion.

Think Beyond Completion

We focus on outcomes that endure, not just transactions that complete. Because we’ve lived post-deal reality, we design decisions to hold up over time.

Values

Values

Creative relentlessness

The best deals are hard to find without a creative mindset. Many advisers miss them because they only look in obvious places. We are not them.

Straight Speaking

We shun corporate-speak and faux formality. This isn't high diving, there are no prizes for style. Outcome is everything.

We are you

We will never forget how high-stakes, distracting and stressful transactions can be when you're in the hot seat. When we work together, we are you. Your needs are our needs. Your success is ours.

How We Show Up

How We Show Up

Astute and Incisive

We see what others miss, identify the real levers in a deal, and frame them clearly. We shape the narrative so value is understood, not assumed.

Firm When Required

We know when to push, when to hold the line, and when to absorb the impact on your behalf.

Exceptional Company

We assemble the right expertise around each transaction, drawing on a network of proven operators and trusted advisers.
