Fast-growing private companies

More than 1,600 of our clients are backed by private equity, and we also serve some of the nation’s leading PE firms. We help portfolio companies and the firms that back them determine appropriate accounting policies, identify internal controls that should be instituted, and navigate through complexity related to M&A transactions.

Many family-owned businesses face challenges related to governance, succession planning and building effective, efficient operating models. Family dynamics can make these issues difficult, but our experience with many of the largest family-owned businesses in the United States can help you overcome these challenges and secure profitability today and sustainability for the future for you and your loved ones.

The model for many companies seeking rapid growth has shifted from a mostly revenue-based pursuit to a quest for profitable growth. When serving innovative companies and start-ups, we’re conscious of their need to build infrastructure to support the strategy and processes to achieve profitability.
