Finance Excellence

An effective and scalable finance function increases transparency, improves decision-making, cuts expenses and waste, and facilitates stakeholder alignment. Through side-by-side partnership with the finance organization, BRG provides support to help clients drive enterprise value.

BRG’s Finance Excellence

BRG’s Finance Excellence team comprises experienced operators and advisors who work directly with management teams and investors to build effective and efficient finance organizations. In addition to assessing and strengthening finance function effectiveness, BRG drives insights through improved business planning, budgeting, and reporting. This work often is in concert with supporting transformational transactions such as mergers, IPOs, or carveouts. We work across industries, offering clients holistic, dynamic solutions to deliver efficient, effective, and sustainable results with speed and transparency.

Our clients include private and public companies across industries that have engaged BRG to identify value levers, build scalable organizations, execute on high-stakes transactions, and optimize core business operations. Our team is led by former private equity operating partners and former industry executives who have direct hands-on experience with companies throughout the business lifecycle.
