Stonehill partners with private equity firms to drive transformation and unlock value across the portfolio lifecycle. We help sponsors and operating partners improve performance, reduce risk, and scale intelligently—whether during diligence, hold period, or exit prep. Our team blends operational experience with technical expertise, delivering tailored solutions that reduce SG&A, optimize growth, and improve EBITDA.

Unlike traditional consultancies, Stonehill operates as an embedded partner—bringing together analysts, designers, engineers, and strategists who integrate with your teams and execute with urgency. From strategic due diligence to intelligent automation, we uncover opportunity others miss and accelerate execution others delay.

Private Equity Consulting Services

1. Portfolio Company Optimization
We work directly with portfolio company management to improve operations, reduce costs, and build scalable systems. This includes process improvement, margin enhancement, digital transformation, and KPI-based performance management. Our sprint-based model ensures early wins and clear ROI.

2. Commercial & Operational Diligence
Stonehill conducts fast, focused diligence engagements that reveal risks, quantify opportunities, and support investment decisions. We validate revenue streams, evaluate customer concentration, assess tech stacks, and benchmark operations against market standards—all within investor timelines.

3. Value Creation Planning
Post-close, we help develop and operationalize value creation plans that align executive leadership with sponsor expectations. Our team maps out strategic priorities, identifies automation and AI use cases, and builds 90-day roadmaps with actionable workstreams to hit growth targets.

4. Exit Preparation & Sell-Side Support
In the final phase of ownership, Stonehill prepares companies for successful exits. We help refine narratives, clean up processes, strengthen reporting, and build the data rooms that buyers demand. Our structured support improves positioning, enhances buyer confidence, and often leads to premium valuations.
