Senior accounting advisory

Big-four power.Startup pace.

Quality of Earnings (QofE) and recurring senior accounting leadership for the middle market—through traditional search, ETA, and smaller public company portcos.

Hollywell Partners is now part of Numera. Your Hollywell partners are still your partners—same senior team, bigger bench.

Our approach

When millions ride on the answer, you shouldn't have to choose between big-firm rigor and deal speed. Numera puts Big Four–trained senior experts on your work in days—people who find what smaller providers miss.

What you can expect

01

Clarity.

We find what other small-deal providers miss—because the people on your work are genuinely big-firm trained, not just big-firm priced.

02

Velocity.

Senior teams on your work in days, with answers that keep pace with the deal—not a mobilization calendar.

03

Impact.

Findings that move the deal—price, protections, and post-close priorities—not a report for the shelf.

Operating principles

Built for consequential decisions.

Talk to the advisory team

Senior work stays senior

The Big Four–trained professionals you meet on day one are the ones doing your analysis—it is never handed down a chain of juniors.

We find what others miss

We read accounting choices, operating realities, and deal mechanics together—so the risks that hide between the silos show up in your report.

Scope changes. Rigor does not.

A smaller deal gets a right-sized scope, never a lighter standard—the diligence is just as real.

Leadership beyond close

After close, the same team can run your monthly close, reporting, and forecasting as your CFO + Controller bench.

How we work with our clients

Help with the deal.
Help long after it.

Bring us in to vet an acquisition, keep us on to run your accounting, or both—what we learn about your business in diligence carries straight into how your finance function operates.
