Advisory
Big-four power.
Startup pace.
On-demand accounting, deal diligence, and finance leadership for mid-market companies, private equity, and search-fund portfolios.
Deals are time-sensitive and traditional firms are slow. Mid-market companies and their investors need senior finance and accounting leadership that mobilizes in days and executes thoroughly — built for the decision, not the billable hour.
Hollywell Partners is now part of Numera Finance.
Same partners. Same responsiveness. Now inside Numera.

In the field
What good diligence changes.
Real transaction work, senior attention, and the kind of findings that change a boardroom conversation before capital is committed.
Velocity
We mobilize in days — not weeks. When a tech startup needed a pro forma forecast to close a funding round, they reached out to us and a Big 4 firm. We had the model built and reviewed, board approvals, and assisted with securing capital commitments all by the time the Big 4 firm was slated to start.
Clarity
We spot what others miss — mispriced risk, missed synergies. A client engaged us for a secondary QoE review ahead of an acquisition. Initial report raised no concerns. We uncovered $7M in undisclosed legal liabilities buried in target’s spend. The deal was called off and we were thanked for saving the acquisition.
Impact
We measure our work in decisions made, deals closed, and problems solved. Our diligence reshaped a client’s entire M&A strategy by uncovering major revenue overlap between two potential bolt-ons. Our client acquired the smaller target and exited five years later at 8.5x.
What we do
Quality of Earnings
Diligence scaled to the deal — a lite review for sub-$20M asset deals through full diligence on targets up to $200M in revenue. Senior teams that know where to look.
Other Advisory Services
Technical accounting, carve-outs, transaction readiness, and interim CFO or Controller leadership — for the moments between deals that still decide them.
Assurance Support Services
SOX, internal audit prep, and external audit coordination for private and public companies — pre-audit support that holds up under review.
Why teams move to Numera
Ridiculously responsive
Up and running in days, not weeks. When a deal is time-sensitive, we’re already working.
Senior-led, always
Big 4 training, real transaction experience. You won’t get passed down the bench.
Outcomes over hours
Our structure cuts the overhead big firms pass along. We measure success by what moves the deal.
The full Numera bench
Tax, accounting, and interim finance leadership inside Numera — available the moment a deal needs more than diligence.
More than diligence
A finding shouldn’t sit in a silo. The advisory team works next to Numera’s tax, accounting, and CFO practices — so when a deal needs technical accounting across international standards, a cross-border structuring view, or a controller to hold the line after close, the people who do that work are already on the team.
“The best team to take you where you want to go is one who’s already been there.”
