Top Financial Advisory & Consulting Companies
Business financial advisory work sits between the bookkeeper and the investment bank. Financial advisory and consulting firms build forecasts and financial models, set up budgeting and FP&A, value a business, prepare for a debt or equity raise, run quality of earnings and due diligence for deals, and advise on restructuring when cash runs short. Owners, CFOs and boards hire them ahead of a funding round, an acquisition or sale, a lender's covenant review, or when the numbers no longer explain what is happening.
The firms listed here vary widely in scale and focus. Look for credentials such as CPA, CFA or ASA in the team, and ask for transactions or models they have delivered for companies of your size.
