Build to exit.
An integrated buyside M&A advisory and fractional CFO firm for the lower middle market.
It is finished.
Tetelestai is Greek for "it is finished," or "paid in full." The firm exists to take engagements to done: deals that close, integrations that finish, exits that pay in full.
A company built to exit runs better, even if you never sell.
Most advisors leave at close.
Tetelestai stays through the exit.
Define the buy box and the reasons a deal should exist.
Negotiate the LOI, structure the deal, coordinate diligence.
Lead the integration and stand up the reporting the deal was underwritten on.
Sit in the CFO seat. Cash, capital, and the board pack, on a cadence.
Prepare the business and the numbers for a sale that holds up in diligence.
The same team that underwrites the deal builds the reporting, leads the integration, and sits in the CFO seat until the company is sold.
Owners enter the line wherever they are. Many start us in the CFO seat, years before any deal is on the table. For platforms in acquisition mode, the same team takes the corporate development seat: sourcing, underwriting, and executing the next deal.
