As a leader of an accountancy firm or as a leader of a department, you’ll get to a stage where you wonder:  how on earth do I further improve the EBITDA or profitability of my firm or department? How do I improve its capital value?

Which is why I was delighted that Sam Edwards of Strategy&, an advisory firm to businesses acquiring or selling other businesses, said yes to joining us on the HumaniseTheNumbers.online podcast.

Sam is very candid, very open, about the strategies, the processes and the principles behind building EBITDA and profitability from the standpoint of private equity firms buying into accountancy firms.

He's recently been involved in 12 deals, and he brings a real practicality to appreciating and understanding the drivers that deliver EBITDA and capital value growth.

So I hope you’ll go to www.humanisethenumbers.online or to your favourite podcast platform to check out this valuable and worthwhile discussion with Sam Edwards.

3. Listen to this Humanise The Numbers podcast with Sam Edwards of Strategy&. Sam dispels the myth that private equity firms looking to invest in accountancy firms are only interested in money. Sam believes that most PE firms care more about the people than anything else. They encourage the work/life balance, want to run 'people first' firms and recognise that people are the most important factor if you want the firm to succeed.
