Senior Advisory Recruiting
Serving business owning families and family offices, especially ones that own larger, middle market companies can be rewarding.
Most financial advisors, investment bankers and business consultants are practicing with yesterday’s business model. They offer rather linear service packages; typically focused on some immediate client objective. They are not accustomed to practicing in an environment that supports multi-disciplinary teams capable of advising clients over an extended period of time.
We’re different. Our Integrated Advisory Services enable our professionals to align with business owners who are seeking to grow larger, more valuable businesses over time. Over any 5-to-10 year period, such clients will require periodic and typically integrated assistance on matters related to Growth Strategy, Business Acquisitions, Company Capitalization, Business Governance, Value Monitoring, Shareholder Liquidity and Generational Stewardship. We refer to these as the Seven Critical Practices as they are the ones that most impact a company’s ability to create shareholder value on a sustainable basis.
During the next 15 years, as roughly 83% of middle market companies will pass through what we refer to as the Transition Wave, we believe that it will become even more critical to be able to deliver integrated advisory services to such clients.
Since 1982, HeadwatersSC has perfected the process and tools to support the integrated delivery of the Seven Critical Practices for the benefit of our clients. This has also enabled us to structure longer-term compensation arrangements, which enable our professional staff members to receive a portion of their compensation, based upon the long-term value creation or realization objectives of our clients.
