About KPI
We do the work most firms only put in a deck.
Key Performance Integrators is an M&A advisory firm for owner-led businesses. We help owners buy, sell and build more valuable companies, and unlike most firms in a deal, we have actually run the businesses underneath them.
Why we exist
Most firms show up for the deal and disappear.
A broker lists your company and leaves. An advisor hands you a report and leaves. A diligence firm sends its findings and leaves. Every one of them touches the transaction, and none of them does the work that decides whether it actually pays off. We started KPI to be the firm that does that work.
We tell you what your business is worth, we help you make it worth more, and we sell it or help you buy and integrate the next one. Then we stay, long after the deal closes, because a transaction does not create value. What happens around it does.
What we value
The values behind the work.
Resourceful
We find the answer, through what we know and who we know. We do not wait for perfect conditions to make progress.
Own the result
We take the seat and own the outcome, not a recommendation and a disappearance. We stay until the business runs without us.
Do the work
We roll up our sleeves and do the unglamorous work most firms only put in a deck. The hard part is the point.
Helpful and candid
We are here to help, and helping means telling you the real thing, not what you want to hear. We say it because we are on your side, and we say it with care.
The team
Operators who have actually held the seat.
KPI is a small team of operators, not a bench of consultants. Every one of us has run operations inside a real business and owned the result. Here is who you work with.
