Who we are

Lilac Street isn’t a metaphor. It’s a real place — the kind of street where people worked double shifts, fixed their own cars, and built things with their hands.

Our founder grew up there, in a blue-collar neighborhood where money was earned slowly, problems were solved locally, and reputation mattered more than titles. Those early lessons about integrity, effort, and what true value looks like, became the foundation of how we approach every engagement.

Our Mission

To help business owners, investors, and operators make smarter decisions around value, whether they’re buying, selling, or planning for the future.

We believe that clarity is power. Understanding what your business is worth — and why — is the first step to unlocking its potential or realizing its legacy.

What We Do

  • Buy-Side & Sell-Side Advisory
    Clear, independent diligence that helps you navigate deals with confidence.

  • Quality of Earnings (QoE) Analysis
    Financial clarity that withstands scrutiny — and maximizes value.

  • Business Valuation
    Objective, defensible valuations for exit planning, partner buyouts, and strategic growth.

We don’t sell financial theater. We deliver substance — reports, models, and insights that real buyers and sellers can act on.

Who We Serve

Founders, entrepreneurs, investors, and advisors who believe that doing things the right way still matters.

Whether you run a multi-generation family business or you’re rolling up your fifth acquisition, our team brings institutional-level rigor with a small-firm mindset — responsive, personal, and invested in your success.

Our Philosophy

We measure success not by closing a deal, but by knowing it was done right. That means no shortcuts, no hidden agendas, and no inflated valuations to make the numbers look pretty.

We believe the real story of a business lives in its financials. Our role is to uncover it, strengthen it, and help you tell it in a way that creates lasting value.
