What we’ve actually changed.

No logo cloud. No testimonial carousel. A few real engagements — structured the same way each time: what they were dealing with, what we did, what changed.

Four engagements we’re free to talk about. They map to the questions new clients ask us most.

PE Funds

PE Sponsor

Standardized ops across a four-portco roll-up.

The sponsor had acquired four businesses in 18 months. Each ran its own systems, its own close, its own KPIs. Portfolio-level visibility was a quarterly spreadsheet exercise the CFO dreaded. We ran ops diligence on the remaining targets, standardized the operating model across the platform, and delivered integrated portfolio reporting within two quarters. Synergy realization tracked within 4% of investment thesis across all four deals.

PE Operating Partner

Portfolio AI infrastructure, not pilots.

The partner had seen three portcos run AI pilots that died in year two. We assessed all eight portcos for AI readiness, deployed the AI infrastructure across the four with the strongest data foundations, and built a shared operating model so the learnings compounded across the portfolio. Value-creation plan traction measured in quarterly increments — no more one-off experiments.

Mid-Market Operators

Mid-Market SaaS

Books closed in days, not weeks — through a Series B.

$40M ARR, Series B closing in six months, CFO seat open, close cycle running 18 days. We stepped in as fractional CFO, stabilized the close in the first quarter, rebuilt forecasting for diligence, and handed off to a permanent CFO at close. Series B closed on schedule; books closed in four days every month thereafter.

PE-Backed Industrial Services

Post-acquisition operating model that actually landed.

$120M revenue, PE-backed, new CEO, fragmented operations across three regional P&Ls. We ran a sprint-based transformation: unified operating cadence, consolidated reporting, shipped four measurable outcomes in the first two quarters. The CEO's first board meeting post-engagement featured a single portfolio view — not three stitched-together decks.

Internal

Sayer runs on its AI infrastructure internally. Forty operators, twenty active clients — and at any moment, ten of those operators are deep in engagement delivery. The infrastructure handles the context, knowledge, and pattern recognition that would otherwise require this headcount.
