Private Equity

We help Private Equity firms realise the full potential of their investments.

Protiviti Private Equity consulting experts focus on the Private Equity firms’ deal thesis for each portfolio company, balancing strong EBITDA growth with prudent controls and compliance. Our approach is one of collaboration and communication with the PE firm and portfolio executives, always mindful of the purpose for which we are hired with an emphasis on speed, quality, ROI and client satisfaction.  

We work with both general industry and industry specialist PE firms and their portfolio companies across all industries, creating functional engagement teams composed of subject matter experts representing both solution and industry expertise. Engaging Protiviti’s Private Equity consulting professionals at the beginning of an investment is a strategic and valuable decision for both PE firms and portfolio companies. We partner together, fostering a collaborative relationship focused on maximising value, risk reduction, business performance improvement, and eventually, increased multiples to maximise exit value.
