Private Equity Services

Broad and deep operational expertise makes Anderson Bauman Tourtellot Vos a natural resource for private equity funds. This knowledge enables ABTV to quickly pinpoint root causes of underperformance in any functional area, and to recommend or implement the tactics needed to correct the problems.

Private equity fund managers turn to ABTV most often for these services:

Operational Assessments. When fund managers suspect that one of their investments is running into difficulty, ABTV can provide the health check-up that prevents disturbing symptoms from turning into major disasters. Operational assessments may require less than one week on-site, and are conducted with sensitivity to the fund's relationship with the portfolio company. ABTV relies on the equity fund for financial information, which makes these assessments shorter and less costly than assessments conducted for companies whose finances must be evaluated.

Fraud examination and prevention, when white collar crime or theft of assets is suspected in a portfolio company. The ABTV team includes Certified Fraud Examiners. This professional designation, combined with our senior level management and operational and consulting experience, assures that fraud investigations will be conducted intelligently and discreetly. In addition to identifying fraud, our professionals assist in resolving fraud cases and preventing future fraud.

Due diligence on prospective investments, when fund management resources are stretched. With our extensive knowledge of business processes, performance metrics, management, marketing, manufacturing and other operational areas, ABTV can be your valuable partner in exploring potential investments.

Interim management, when a search for a key position in an investment is prolonged. ABTV professionals have either worked in C level positions in industry or upper management in Fortune 500 companies, in addition to having extensive consulting experience.

Valuation and expert witness services, when independent analysis or testimony is warranted. ABTV is ready to value assets being considered for sale, purchase or reorganization. Related services include solvency and fairness opinions.
