About Our Client:
Our client is a Chicago-based holding company backed by an experienced leadership team with a proven track record of building and scaling businesses. The principals built a community association management platform to over $150M in revenue through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth, completing ~30 acquisitions across 17+ states, growing to roughly 1,300 employees, and expanding acquired companies at 10%+ organically on average, nearly double their pre-acquisition growth rate. Customer retention improved by 2% after acquisition, compared to an industry norm of 5%+ drop-off post-sale.
Those results came from a strong platform. Our buyers partner with companies that live their 7-word business plan: employees first, customers second, bottom line third.
The leadership team brings 25 years of combined experience across finance, management consulting, and operating company leadership. Leveraging this experience, our buyer takes a hands-on approach to scaling businesses, focusing on strengthening leadership teams, implementing scalable processes, and driving both organic growth and strategic acquisition initiatives.
