Transition Services

The Accounting & Finance organizations of a newly acquired platform or add-on are often not prepared for the heightened requirements under PE investors. Smooth, well-planned & executed transitions to rigorous PE standards is a signature service of Outliers. We help your deals get off on the right foot.

Our dedicated Financial Analysis and Planning team works with our clients to extract meaning from financial and non-financial data and help to model and gain insight to see “what comes next”.

Fractional CFO Services

Lower middle market companies usually have underdeveloped accounting functions and often don’t need a full-time Controller or CFO. We can provide on-going CFO support for a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO until the company grows to a point where a full-time CFO is required.

QOE Lite

Due diligence processes for buy side or sell side small companies (revenues < $20 million) are very similar to the pocesses needed for larger acquisitions. Our QOE Lite service provides a “no frills” quality of earnings process at lower cost and over shorter time frames for small acquisitions or exits.

Distressed & Turnaround

All portfolios will have some investments that are more challenged than others. These underperformers can sap PE & management energy & attention thus potentially lowering overall portfolio returns. Our PE experienced CFOs have worked through tough situations successfully.
