Independence
We’re not your broker or your lender. Our only loyalty is to the truth in the numbers, which is what makes our findings credible to everyone at the table.
Greenwood Diligence was built on a simple conviction: the lower middle market deserves the same rigor the biggest deals get, delivered by senior people, with genuine independence, fast enough to matter.
Rigorous diligence shouldn’t be reserved for the largest funds. That conviction is why Greenwood exists. We bring the depth and discipline of a top-tier engagement to the independent sponsors, searchers, and owners who carry the most personal risk in a deal, with our incentives aligned to theirs, and at a cost that actually fits. It’s the standard we’d want if we were the ones signing the check. Big-firm diligence, without the big-firm budget.
We named it Greenwood for a reason. A great tree is only as sound as what’s beneath it: the canopy is what everyone sees, but the roots decide whether it stands. That’s how we read a business. The reported earnings are the canopy, and our work is in the roots: the cash, the trends, the quality, the risks.
We’re not your broker or your lender. Our only loyalty is to the truth in the numbers, which is what makes our findings credible to everyone at the table.
Diligence is only useful if you can act on it. We write for decision-makers: plain language, clear findings, no jargon for its own sake.
We analyze at the account and transaction level, reconcile earnings to cash, and stress-test the story. The depth is the point.
Deals move. We move with them, senior people who pick up the phone and turn work around in days, not weeks of silence.
The person who scopes your engagement is the person doing the work. No rotating cast of first-years behind a partner’s name.
We do well when you make the right call, not when the engagement drags on. The firm is built so our interests point where yours do, a clear answer you can act on, even when that answer is to walk away.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just need clarity, we’d like to help.
