PE-backed CFO:
Leverage Requires Better Cash Management

Cash management is a strategic priority for CFOs of SMBs/mid-sized companies, especially when the company is backed by a private equity fund.

Agicap’s Private Equity Practice

20% of Agicap's revenue is generated by PE-backed companies.

Why do they trust us? Because in a leveraged environment, cash flow is not just an operational metric—it is the engine of value creation.

Recognising the high stakes of LBOs, we built Agicap’s Private Equity Practice. Born from our extensive work with leading funds and Operating Partners, this dedicated team supports portfolio CFOs. We provide best practices to both secure day-to-day operations and maximize exit readiness.
