Bench depth without permanent headcount

Analysts, portfolio operations support and back-office capacity for deal teams. Hired in about seven days, scaled to the deal cycle, month to month.

Month-to-month · Replacement guaranteed · Start in a week

An analyst reviewing deal materials

The capacity problem

Deal flow does not arrive at a steady rate

Three constraints every lean deal team runs into.

Diligence overwhelms the team

Three processes at once and the same analysts on all of them. Quality drops or timelines slip, and neither is acceptable to an IC.

Portfolio companies need operators

You buy a business with no finance function and no back office. Fixing that with permanent hires is slow and expensive.

Fixed headcount is the wrong shape

Hiring for peak leaves you carrying cost through a quiet quarter. Hiring for the trough means turning away work.

7 days

From scoping call to added capacity on a live process.

40+

Countries we source from, so coverage follows the deal rather than the office.

0

Placement fees, carried headcount or commitment beyond the current month.

Where to start

Where deal teams add capacity first

Ranked by what lean funds and their portfolio companies hand over first.

Deal analyst support

Model maintenance, comps, market mapping and data room organisation.

Portfolio operations

Embedded operators who build the back office a newly acquired business lacks.

Finance and reporting

Consolidated reporting, KPI packs and monthly close across the portfolio.

Research and sourcing

Target screening, outreach lists and pipeline hygiene in your CRM.

Back-office build-out

Bookkeeping, payroll admin and process documentation post-close.

"We added two analysts for a competitive process without touching permanent headcount. When it closed we moved one into the portfolio company to build out finance."

Fund questions

Before you commit

How do you handle confidentiality on live deals?

Confidentiality terms are signed before any placement begins, access is scoped to what the role requires, and we run conflict checks against your active pipeline.

Can we place talent into a portfolio company?

Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. We can contract at fund level or directly with the portfolio company, whichever suits your structure.

What happens when a process ends?

Scale the placement down, move the person into a portfolio company, or end it. Month-to-month terms mean capacity follows the deal cycle.

Is the calibre high enough for diligence work?

Fewer than one in a thousand applicants is placed. For analyst roles we screen specifically on modelling and analytical rigour before anyone is put forward.
