Private Equity & Acquirers

Buy-side diligence for sponsors, family offices, and corporate development, with the speed and senior attention competitive processes demand.

CPAs & Accountants

A trusted referral for the transaction work your firm does not take on, handled with discretion and returned with the relationship intact.

Flexible support for clients approaching a liquidity event, so you can guide owners through a sale with diligence-grade analysis at their side.

Transaction Attorneys

Financial analysis that holds up under buyer scrutiny, and a flexible partner who keeps your client's deal on track.

Three lines, one senior team.

Diligence, integration, and finance leadership across the deal and beyond. Senior-only, fixed-fee, and flexible.

Why Hansen

What sets us apart.

01

Senior Practitioners Only

A principal leads and owns every engagement, start to finish. No junior staff, no hand-offs, no offshore.

02

Fast, By Design

Senior focus and modern tooling on the mechanical work keep the timeline short: a standard deal in about two weeks, with the rigor intact.

03

Flexible, We Say Yes

We shape the work around the situation and take on the out-of-box asks, staying engaged before, during, and after the deal.

04

Fixed Fee, No Surprises

The price is the price, agreed upfront and sized for the lower middle market. The number we quote is the number you pay, no matter how the work evolves.
