Big-four power.
Startup pace.
On-demand accounting, deal diligence & finance leadership
Mid-market companies, private equity and search firm portfolio companies need agile support from hands-on accounting and finance leadership that can deploy rapidly and execute thoroughly.
Commitment
Elite financial expertise,
delivered at speed
We mobilize in days – not weeks. When a tech startup needed a pro forma forecast to close a funding round, they reached out to us and a Big 4 firm. We built the model, refined it with their board and secured capital commitment on the day the Big 4 was slated to start. The round closed.
We spot what others miss – mispriced risk, missed synergies. A client engaged us for a secondary QoE review ahead of an acquisition. Initial report raised no concerns. We uncovered $7M in undisclosed legal liabilities buried in target’s spend. The deal was called off and we were thanked for saving the acquisition.
We measure our work in decisions made, deals closed, and problems solved. Our diligence reshaped a client’s entire M&A strategy by uncovering major revenue overlap between two potential bolt-ons. Our client acquired the smaller target and exited five years later at 8.5x.

Accounting & financial consulting gives you clarity and confidence to act. At Hollywell, we help you see what matters—faster.
Whether it’s evaluating a potential deal, preparing for a raise, or improving performance, we bring structure, insight, and senior judgment to help you move with purpose.
Traditional firms are often built around audits and compliance. Hollywell is built for speed, strategy, and execution.
You won’t get passed down the bench. Every engagement is senior-led and hands-on.
A Quality of Earnings report goes beyond basic financials — it reveals the real earnings power of a business.
If you're preparing for a sale, acquisition, or investment, a QoE can uncover risks, justify valuation, and build buyer confidence.
Absolutely. We work with both buyers and sellers to assess financial health, identify red flags, and validate deal assumptions. Our "lite" and full QoE offerings are tailored based on deal size and complexity.
Both. We often serve as the go-to financial partner for PE firms — helping assess targets, optimize portcos post-acquisition, and provide interim leadership during transitions.
Fast. Our senior-led teams are designed for rapid deployment — we’ve launched projects within days. Once we align on scope, we move quickly to deliver impact.
We follow strict internal protocols, secure file management, and client-specific NDAs. Trust and discretion are central to how we operate.
