Business Value Accelerator Consultant
A Business Value Accelerator Consultant is a specialist who focuses on increasing a company’s enterprise value, often in preparation for a sale, merger, or transition. Unlike general consultants who focus solely on operations, these advisors align a business's internal performance with the specific metrics that acquirers and investors value most.
Functions of a Value Accelerator Advisor
Strategic Exit Planning: Utilizing frameworks to bridge the gap between a business’s current worth and its potential market value.
De-Risking the Asset: A primary goal is to identify and mitigate "hidden" risks—such as owner dependence, customer concentration, or poor financial records—that typically lower a company's valuation multiple.
90-Day Sprints: Advisors often implement "actionable sprints" to drive improvements in key areas like sales efficiency, leadership development, and operational scalability.
Alignment of Goals: Assisting business owners harmonize three critical "legs of the stool": business goals, personal goals, and financial goals.
What Matters Most
Higher Valuation Multiples: Companies working with knowable advisors often see valuation increases of 30% to 50% or more compared to their initial baseline.
Enhanced Marketability: By preparing for due diligence early, businesses become more "transferable" and attractive to high-quality buyers.
