Brittany Tillman Advisory is a Chicago-based mergers and acquisitions advisory firm focused on pre-exit value creation for founder-led and private equity-backed companies. We enter 2-3 years before a planned sale, applying advanced financial modeling, valuation analysis, and a proprietary optimization framework to turn businesses into premium, investor-grade assets that justify higher offer prices.

Architecting a Stronger Sale

1. Diagnose Value & Risk

We begin with a comprehensive diagnostic to uncover value gaps, buyer concerns, operational inefficiencies, and unrealized upside. This establishes a clear, evidence‑based understanding of what must be strengthened before entering the market.


2. Design the Transformation Roadmap

Together, we build a sequenced, strategic roadmap that reshapes the company’s positioning, professionalizes operations, enhances financial performance, and aligns the business with what sophisticated buyers prioritize.


3. Prepare for Market Engagement

We apply proprietary frameworks and market intelligence to refine the company’s narrative, strengthen documentation, and position you to engage intermediaries and buyers from a place of confidence and leverage.
