Experienced FP&A ‘operators’ providing hands-on support to Private Equity Sponsors & Portfolio Companies
Headquartered in Boston, MA, Macánta Consulting serves Private Equity Sponsors and their Portfolio Companies. We strive to deliver sustainable value that will continue well after our assignment is complete. While seated in the Finance function, our services benefit the entire organization.
We recognize that being acquired by a Private Equity Sponsor represents a ‘transition’ to a new set of opportunities and expectations. We formed Macánta Consulting with the goal of improving PE Portfolio Company performance and experience by supporting the ‘transition’ to PE ownership. We aim to help you meet ROI and investment timelines, while making the experience more enjoyable and rewarding for all.
To be successful, you need help. You need help navigating the way. You need help understanding the expectations of your PE Sponsor. You need help translating the investment thesis into action. You need help improving foundational elements, such as systems and processes. You need help improving reporting, and performing analysis. You need help implementing strategic initiatives…and you need help prioritizing and managing these competing priorities.
We can help. We are intimately familiar with the challenges and opportunities of being a Portfolio Company. This real world experience enables us to anticipate and plan the path to success. More importantly, we don’t stop there. We are unique because we work as Embedded Consultants(TM), bringing additional capacity to your team to execute and achieve shared objectives.
We are not theorists trained from a playbook. We are experts that learned the old fashioned way - by doing the work.
