We solve the problemsyou can't talk about openly.
Advisory and execution for complex, sensitive problems. For family offices, funds, and founders who need outcomes – not presentations.
When discretion matters as much as the outcome
We work with a small number of clients on problems that require both competence and confidentiality. No public case studies. No press releases. Just results delivered under NDA.
A family office had entities across four EU countries, the US, and a GCC holding – each set up by a different local advisor over fifteen years. None of the advisors had visibility into the others' work. When we mapped the full structure, we found overlapping entities serving no purpose, treaty benefits going unclaimed, and a transfer pricing arrangement that wouldn't survive an audit. Total annual leakage: roughly €2M. We consolidated, restructured, and got it defensible – though not without pushing back on some of their existing advisors who didn't appreciate the second opinion.
A VC fund asked us to review a Series B target after their standard DD came back clean. We spent two weeks inside the company's operations. What we found: the CTO had built the entire platform on a framework he'd written himself, undocumented, that only he understood. Two senior engineers had already given notice. The company's 18-month product roadmap was technically impossible without a rewrite nobody had scoped or budgeted. The fund passed. The company missed its next three milestones and did a down round eight months later.
A founder found out a departing VP of Sales had been quietly steering key accounts toward a company he'd registered three months before resigning. By the time we were called, two major clients were already in conversations with the new entity. We spent the first week building an evidence trail – emails, contract timelines, incorporation records – and coordinating with counsel in two jurisdictions. The founder got an injunction, but not before losing one of the two accounts. The other stayed. Not a clean win, but without the rapid response, the damage would have been significantly worse.
An older gentleman in Spain received a multi-million euro tax assessment from the Spanish tax authorities stemming from a tax residency dispute – one he'd never been properly notified about. He was trying to sell his factories, but between his residency situation and the complexity of the assets, nothing was straightforward. The sale eventually closed, but the proceeds came as physical checks – and the concern was that the authorities would freeze his accounts before he could deposit them, leaving him unable to fund his own legal defence. We worked with banking partners outside Spain to get the funds cleared. The tax dispute is still being contested. But he's contesting it from a position of stability, not desperation.
