about hamilton partners
HAMILTON PARTNERS (HPAU) is an independent management consulting firm based in Sydney, Australia, with team members and clients in Australia, USA, and Canada. The firm was originally founded in 2009 as Hamilton Partners LLC based in Seattle, USA.
Hamilton Partners offers its services to senior management and operation teams seeking to make impactful organizational changes to optimize the opportunities for the success of their lines of businesses.
HPAU works closely with clients to identify and address critical strategic issues for building or re-setting their foundation for growth. Focus is placed on vital baseline areas frequently overlooked by management team members forced to ‘wear too many hats’ including business plan development, organization structure identification and refinement, finance operations, social media strategy and capital structure.
Hamilton Partners provides personalized senior level attention leveraging over 20 years’ experience in senior executive finance and operations management, investment banking, corporate finance, and general management operations.
Typically, such execution resources are not readily accessible to early and mid-stage management teams at a reasonable cost or with substantive focus of senior level advisors.
Successful outcomes begin with a deep understanding of client businesses in order to leverage that insight to set strategy, deploy people, implement processes, and develop key metrics to unlock and realize value. Hamilton Partners clients typically face immediate challenges, need preparation for a
strategic event (capital raise, sale, acquisition) or acknowledge the potential opportunity for transition in taking their companies “to the next level.”
As a trusted partner, HPAU’s experience and commitment can assist to drive accelerated organic and external growth, increased profits, maximization of shareholder value and achievement of personal wealth and strategic objectives. The firm works closely with client teams to help develop and/or articulate their business journey and opportunities ahead for the business. In addition, HPAU is well positioned to dive into the business with management services, including interim CFO and operating roles.
