Private Equity Advisory

Tax efficiency, transaction velocity, and CFO-grade reporting — built for portfolio companies.

Neil Jesani Advisors works directly with private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies to protect deal economics, reduce tax drag, and install the financial infrastructure that supports growth and a clean exit. Three integrated practice areas — Business Tax, Transaction Advisory, and CFO Advisory — operate under a single fixed monthly retainer, giving sponsors full cost certainty across the hold period.

Who we serve

  • PE sponsors managing tax exposure across portfolio company platforms
  • Portcos pre-LOI needing QoE, financial due diligence, and deal structuring
  • Add-on acquisition targets with multi-state compliance and SALT complexity
  • Growth-stage portcos requiring fractional CFO without a full-time hire
  • Pre-exit portcos optimizing EBITDA, clean financials, and buyer-ready reporting

Three modules

1

Business Tax

Federal and 50-state compliance, 338(h)(10) and 336(e) elections, entity restructurings, advanced tax planning, and SALT advisory — covering every portco in your platform at one flat fee.

2

Transaction Advisory

Quality of earnings, financial due diligence, valuation, and tax-efficient deal structuring. Covers aggregate deal values up to $500M — multiple transactions in a year, one monthly retainer.
