Creating Value and Promoting values since 1985
Our proprietary platform is built on the premise that pairing deep domain (industry) expertise with process (operational understanding) experts provides superior results. Founded in 1985 Kirchner Group has developed into one of North America’s leading boutique operationally oriented advisory firms. In our capacity as advisors, partners and principals we work in conjunction with management and their investors.
Today Kirchner Group operates various subsidiaries, providing advisory services (M&A, assessments, diligence) and operational support (interim management, workouts, turnarounds) as well as asset management (dedicated, underperforming funds).
Our value proposition centers around a pragmatic approach to serving the needs of the private capital world. We have a strong client focus delivering genuine value in times of economic contraction and distress as well as periods of growth.
Our unique platform leverages our unparalleled experience across select sectors.
We have resident domain experts in multiple domains. Our model generally pairs one or more of our resident sector experts with a process expert for each engagement. This allows for unprecedented insight into each industry, understanding of the market dynamics as well as direct access to key strategics.
