Greenwood Management Advisors was started in 2014, our mission: create competitive advantage for innovative, ethical companies that create jobs and provide value to employees, customers and stakeholders.

SOLUTIONS
OUR SOLE FOCUS IS ON CREATING AND CAPTURING VALUE FROM TRANSACTIONS AND CAPITAL STRATEGY.
—CLOSE FASTER
Highly targeted diligence, data driven assumptions, and deep transaction valuation expertise combine to help our clients close the right deals, at the right price, faster.
—GET A COMPLETE PICTURE
Analytic and operating expertise help our clients develop a more complete picture of the transaction, and better estimate the impact of operational improvements.
—QUICKLY GAIN VISIBILITY
Rapid data integration allows Senior Management to quickly get a handle on actual performance vs. expectations – mitigating the risk of a post-close performance dip.
—ACCELERATE PERFORMANCE
Clear 100-day plans with a highly targeted focus on the few optimization opportunities which really matter, help our clients accelerate post-close operational improvements.
VALUE CREATION
FOCUS ON THE RIGHT THINGS – THOSE WHICH REALLY MATTER.
Value Creation Requires Agile Execution
Recent studies suggest that two thirds to three fourths of companies fail to get the intended results from strategies. While evidence indicates strategy and execution should not be thought of separately – the gap between well laid plans, and achieving results continues to widen. The gap is particularly prominent in transactions.
Often times synergy estimates, and integration plans are developed with flawed assumptions, integration is managed by a one-size-fits-all plan, and value creation is relegated to the sidelines. The challenge of achieving the intended goals is further compounded by an uncertain environment and incomplete information.
Experience and awareness are key in maintaining agility – and agility is key to achieving results. Anticipating what is coming next, based on past experience, allows us to help your team side-step significant risks and stay focused on getting the most important things right.
Greenwood Management Advisors serves as the conduit to successfully price and execute complex transactions.
FULLY UNDERSTAND OPPORTUNITIES
Proprietary technology, deep operating expertise, and an industry expert network, help identify opportunities and costs others often overlook.
ACCELERATE VALUE CAPTURE
Proprietary tools - developed through numerous transactions - allow your team to quickly mobilize, gain momentum and turn focus from managing checklists to creating and capturing value.
ANTICIPATE AND MITIGATE RISK
Significant transaction experience - our consultants have participated in hundreds of transactions - allows us to anticipate and mitigate risks: capital and operating expenditures, talent retention, customer turnover, and organization disruption.
EXECUTE WITH AGILITY
Deep reporting and technology expertise allows us to quickly provide visibility into financial performance and key operating metrics. Having the right information at the right time is key to agile execution.
