Value Creation in Private Equity

Acuity Analytics specialises in delivering tech-enabled research and Private Equity Advisory Services to value creation teams in private equity and asset management firms, working alongside them and working directly with portfolio companies to drive measurable growth and operational excellence post-acquisition.
