Sector Expertise

Deep in the industries
we know best.

We would rather know a few industries cold than dabble in all of them. When your advisor already knows the buyers, the multiples, and what diligence will surface, you start two steps ahead.

Flagship Practice

Early Childhood Education
& Preschools

Our deepest expertise. Connor worked through more than 40 transactions in the space at Cadence Education, sitting across from the owners who built those schools. We know the regional and national platforms, the private equity groups behind them, what they pay, and what they look for. If you own a preschool or early education business, there may be no advisor in the country with more relevant transaction experience per partner.

40+ ECE Transactions Worked
National Buyer Relationships

Our promise to preschool owners is simple: top dollar pursued through real buyer competition, both principals on your deal from first call to close, and better economics than the larger firms, because you are not paying for their overhead or their junior staff. We only get paid when your deal closes, and if we are not earning our seat at your table, fire us. You will owe us nothing. You built something with your family. So did we. Owners tend to recognize that in the first conversation.

Managed service providers and IT services businesses, where recurring-revenue quality drives the multiple. We know the active buyers, the EV/EBITDA ranges, and what earns a premium below the topline.

Dog Daycare & Pet Care

Dog daycare, boarding, and grooming, where the box, the team, and the trust set the value. A natural extension of our early childhood work: multi-unit, facility-based, licensed service businesses.
