Hands-on strategic advisory, business optimization, transition and succession planning, and M&A services for business owners navigating high-stakes decisions
TigerLine Advisory is a full-service business consulting and M&A advisory firm serving small- and medium-sized founder-, family-, and investor-owned businesses primarily in the Northeast, as a trusted partner helping define and execute ownership and business objectives. Our clients commonly seek a path to higher success - crafting new strategy, spurring profitable growth, optimizing business value, or transitioning the business to new ownership in a way that also benefits employees, customers, and communities. But they are often unsure where to start.
TigerLine is anchored by a unique skill stack of operating expertise and M&A fluency
We are experienced strategy developers, commercial leaders, and operators who have achieved uncommon business results in leadership roles within billion-dollar and private equity-backed organizations. At the same time, we are corporate finance and M&A experts who have valued, sold, and acquired multiple businesses. We have presented sophisticated acquisition strategies to Boards of Directors one day, then acquired and integrated those businesses the next. We have designed and brought new products to market one day, then built those products with our bare hands the next. We have built sales processes and software tools, and then won multi-million dollar deals using those processes and tools. We have lived the recommendations we have made and the problems we have solved.
Our services span the full arc of advisory needs, enabling owners and businesses to truly find their line
The premise of TigerLine’s founding was simple: we did not want to be another run-of-the-mill consultancy or M&A firm. We believe it benefits our clients the most to rely on one turnkey service provider to both improve, and successfully sell, their business. We are uniquely positioned with the well-rounded experience and acumen to provide the full arc of advisory services needed to accomplish both objectives.
Our approach emphasizes a respect for the operational difficulties of running a business day-to-day while trying to build a lasting legacy. We partner closely with founders, owners, and management teams, riding shotgun and embedding ourselves in the business as needed. We dig in early, committing the time to define and set strategy, implement systems, generate exceptional results, and ultimately spearhead a successful ownership transition. Our engagements may last well over a year, to ensure our initiatives take hold and truly deliver value to our customers.
