“How can we maximize performance in our portfolio companies?”
An uptick in sales growth or a small expense reduction is often the difference between an average investment and a home-run. It follows that one-time investments in profit growth initiatives can have a substantial return on capital.
We work with private equity funds and their portfolio companies in a variety of ways to help maximize value.

Business managers who are used to managing in an entrepreneurial environment are often reluctant to invest in outside consultants, given cost and culture considerations. We help make the decision easier with a flexible financial model that often includes shared upside. We work hard to make sure our style melds with the company’s culture.
