We believe that forging deep partnerships requires going above and beyond the bare minimum. We don’t believe in the phrase “good enough.”

We push ourselves to create custom financing solutions tailored for every company – deals are started from the ground up, and we work side-by-side with private equity sponsors during each stage of the transaction life cycle.

Our Culture

Relationships are key

The best way we know how to create reliable, long-term relationships is by aligning goals. This approach has permeated through all of our client interactions, whether with private equity clients, portfolio companies, or our employees. We know that having a reliable partner gives considerable peace of mind and we want to provide that sense of relief to everyone we work with. This is why nearly everybody in our investment team has continued to work alongside each other since 2011.

OUR CORE Values

  • Long-Term Partnership: Emphasis on enduring relationships means reliable results. Shortcuts are not an option

  • Goal Alignment: Aligning goals means problems are avoided before they occur and lets us anticipate your needs before you even voice them

  • Operational Efficiency: Operational excellence means faster turnaround times and greater flexibility for financing solutions

  • Open Communications: Complete transparency and 24/7 access make working with us a breeze

  • Kaizen-Minded: 125 years of combined experience within the team, with a drive to continuously improve

Testimonials About Page

“From our perspective, Abacus was an ideal partner for this transaction. They know the aerospace industry, have experience in niche manufacturing, and were able to offer us certainty of close at an early stage in our negotiations. The team at Abacus was very easy to work with, which allowed us to close the transaction quickly.”

David Finley, Managing Director
Sverica International

“This was a new relationship for us, and it proved to be a terrific one. The team at Abacus responded quickly, was tremendously enthusiastic, and gave us certainty of a close early on. They are definitely a firm we will turn to going forward.”

Doug Schillinger, Managing Director
DW Healthcare Partners

"This is our third transaction with the Abacus team, and once again they streamlined the approval process and gave us certainty of close – two factors that were critical for us. Equally important, Abacus knows the consumer products sector and offered a transaction structure that was flexible enough to accommodate strategic initiatives that we felt to be important."
