You can get your bearings on CFO type work thru M&A advisory (assuming FDD), but it’s hard to jump in as operator day 1 after consulting. Like really difficult.
That said, anyone can start a business if they have a good idea or enough grit. For us, knowing numbers and having a psychotic work ethic helps.
I know a guy who left big 4 M&A to start a professional services business focused on RE and he is very successful.
i like the second paragraph. it’s really comes down to the ability to figure it out
I have a friend who was in FDD, Sr mgr, and used the knowledge to start an HVAC business with his HVAC technician buddy. The idea being, all these companies are getting bought for a crap load and rolled up by PE, better get in on that action.
I'm sure he will be very successful in a decade or less and sell it off for a tidy profit.
Love this
