Private Equity and Venture Capital
Filling the Void in Private Equity and Venture Capital Services
As a leading business consultant and CPA firm for the sophisticated middle market, we have been trusted to help companies and investors buy and sell businesses for more than 45 years.
This gives us an unparalleled level of transactional experience and uniquely situates us as expert advisors for private equity and venture capital funds focused on middle market companies. We also have extensive experience in the unique aspects of auditing these funds and providing tax structuring and preparation services for large, complex partnerships. This, we believe, is one of the reasons our Private Equity and Venture Capital Practice has experienced its current level of growth.
Additionally, many private equity and venture capital fund companies looking to buy middle market companies have to choose between a firm without the depth and experience they truly require or a Big 4 firm that might not give them the hands-on service they need.

- Our depth of services includes the following:
- Providing audit and tax preparation for private equity and venture capital fund companies and their corresponding portfolio and management companies

In addition to our expertise, you might be pleasantly surprised at our firm's innovation and how well-respected we are among banks and professional service firms as well as by a diverse range of businesses, business leaders and professional associations nationwide.
