The finance function of a lower middle market business often lacks critical functionality beyond core accounting processes.

Buttonwood can design a custom service offering to cost effectively supplement an existing team with the competencies required to operate a best-in-class corporate finance function.

In cases of corporate carveout or the departure of key-role finance professionals, Buttonwood can provide a full departmental solution including appropriately scaled CFO, Treasurer, VP Finance, Controller, and Clerk functions.

This service can be expanded into additional administrative functions including HR and IT function management.

When the desired solution is to “coach-up” an existing team, Buttonwood can provide a strategic outline for the development of an industry leasing corporate finance function to ownership, including the delivery of key tools and a short-term or medium-term training program.

With a unique blend of both operational and M&A experience, Buttonwood professionals can provide a valuable link between fresh institutional capital and founder-owned teams.
