Private equity finds steadier advisory earnings in roll-ups of founder-owned forensic accounting and IFRS valuation boutiques
Softening corporate transaction volumes have depressed margins across general management consulting, leading private equity sponsors to pivot their professional services strategies.

At the same time, expanding statutory public record transparency mandates and legislative scrutiny are driving consistent multi-year demand for forensic verification across corporate and public sectors.
