As demand for end-to-end M&A expertise continues to rise, Resultant has acquired Liberty Advisor Group, a Chicago-based advisory firm specializing in transaction services for private equity firms and Fortune 500 companies. With this acquisition, Resultant is expanding its capabilities by combining Liberty’s deep transaction advisory expertise with its own strengths in data, analytics, and digital transformation.
As private equity firms increasingly seek integrated partners across the investment lifecycle, this move creates a comprehensive M&A platform that spans from due diligence to post-close value realization. Therefore, clients can now access a unified approach that aligns strategic advisory with execution, helping them unlock greater value from their investments.
“We are thrilled to welcome Liberty’s outstanding team of seasoned consultants and operators as we continue to ensure we are delivering best-in-class solutions and services to our clients,” said Greg Layok, Resultant CEO. “The addition deepens our expertise in M&A transaction services and portfolio management, particularly for private equity clients who require trusted advisors throughout the entire investment lifecycle.”
Moreover, the combined organization delivers an expanded suite of services tailored specifically for private equity firms and their portfolio companies. This includes validated due diligence, where Liberty’s experienced consultants assess technical debt and scalability risks before transactions close. In addition, the firm supports sell-side engagements to help businesses maximize returns during divestitures.
Furthermore, Resultant enhances post-close integration by leveraging its data and technology expertise to execute 90-day plans efficiently, even in complex carve-outs and multi-entity integrations. At the same time, the combined team focuses on measurable value creation, drawing from a track record of over $1 billion in operating income improvement through initiatives such as supply chain optimization and ERP transformation.
Another key advantage lies in portfolio-wide risk management. Liberty’s proprietary Cyber 360 offering provides private equity firms with visibility into cybersecurity risks across their entire portfolio, helping protect valuations and reduce exposure during exit planning.
“Joining Resultant creates powerful opportunities for our PE partners and their portfolio companies,” said Chad Smith, Liberty’s founding partner and CEO. “Our clients now have access to a significantly broader range of technical capabilities in AI, advanced analytics, and digital transformation: the primary levers for modern value creation.”
Since its founding in 2008, Liberty Advisor Group has supported more than 300 M&A transactions and delivered over $1 billion in operating income improvements. Additionally, the firm has built a strong reputation for client retention, with repeat customers accounting for 85% of its annual revenue. Its experience includes managing complex carve-outs, such as advising on divestitures exceeding $800 million.
“We are proud to welcome Liberty to the Resultant platform. As private equity sponsors ourselves, we understand well how the quality of technology and data systems drive value at portfolio companies, especially around M&A integration,” said Vitali Bourchtein, Investcorp managing director and Resultant board member. “Liberty is a world-class operator in this domain, and we look forward to bringing this expertise and capabilities to Resultant’s clients.”
As part of the integration, approximately 30 professionals from Liberty will join the Resultant team, further strengthening its talent base. Additionally, Liberty’s strong workplace culture recognized by Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Consulting and Professional Services and Crain’s Chicago Business’ Best Places to Work adds further value to the combined organization.
Ultimately, this acquisition reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated M&A solutions that combine advisory, execution, and technology. By bringing these capabilities together, Resultant is positioning itself to deliver greater value, reduce risk, and support long-term growth for private equity clients and their portfolio companies.
