Business advisory.

For founders and operators whose personal balance sheet runs through their company. We work alongside management as an independent, retained voice on capital and strategy.

Who we serve

Entrepreneurs and business owners. Where founder-led companies need an independent voice.

We are not bankers. We do not take success fees on transactions we counsel against. Engagements are typically structured on a retainer basis with a defined scope, deliverables, and term.

Engagements

Where founder-led companies need an independent voice.

01

Capital structure & financing

Debt, equity, and mezzanine sourcing. Term-sheet negotiation. Covenant analysis. Lender and sponsor relationships across the middle market.

02

Financial reporting & forecasting

GAAP financial close discipline, 13-week cash forecasts, and KPI dashboards your board will actually read.

03

Exit readiness

QofE preparation, data-room construction, and management presentation coaching — typically 12–24 months before a process.

04

Owner liquidity & diversification

Dividend recaps, partial sales, and ESOP analysis to take chips off the table without sacrificing control.

05

Board & governance counsel

Board composition, committee charters, and executive compensation design for closely-held companies.

The right portfolio begins with the right conversation.
