The practice
A corporate office built for the work that follows the decision.
Most advisory firms help you decide. Verifone helps you operationalise the decision — the harder, less glamorous work of writing the policy, structuring the entity, training the people, and producing the documentation that holds up under audit, diligence, and board review.
Since 2009 we have worked alongside 240 mid-market companies across the New York metro area — family-owned businesses transitioning leadership, founder-led companies preparing for institutional capital, and corporate subsidiaries tightening governance after a restructuring. Our engagements average eighteen months because the work we do is not a deliverable; it is a system.
We are deliberately small. Six principals, four senior associates, and a research desk. No pyramids of junior staff billing against your retainer. The partner who pitches the engagement is the partner who signs the work.

Services
Six engagements. One operating standard.
Each engagement is scoped, fixed-fee, and led by a principal. Indicative pricing below reflects typical mid-market engagements in the New York metro area; final scope is set in a written proposal after the first meeting.
02
Financial Advisory & Reporting
CFO-level advisory, management reporting, cash-flow modelling, and audit-ready financials. We sit beside your finance function, not on top of it.
From$8,200 /mo
03
Executive & Operations Leadership
Fractional and interim executive placement — COO, CFO, General Counsel — plus the operating cadence, KPIs, and meeting architecture that makes the role actually function.
From$14,800 /mo
04
Risk Management & Compliance
Enterprise risk registers, SOX-aligned controls, regulatory mapping for NY State and federal regimes, and the documentation trail your auditors actually want to see.
From$9,500
05
Strategic Planning & Restructuring
Three-year operating plans, business-unit restructuring, carve-out readiness, and post-acquisition integration playbooks. The unglamorous work that determines whether the strategy lands.
From$22,000
06
Corporate Secretarial Services
Entity management, board minutes, resolutions, filings, and registered-agent coordination across NY, NJ, and CT. The quiet discipline that prevents the loud problem.
From$3,400 /mo
Why Verifone
The work is the credential. The standard is the difference.
We do not differentiate through slogans or frameworks with trademarked names. We differentiate through a standard of work that becomes obvious within the first deliverable — and a way of operating that becomes obvious within the first month.
Principal-led, always
The partner who scopes your engagement is the partner who signs every deliverable. No silent hand-off to a junior team you have never met.
Fixed-fee engagements
Every proposal carries a fixed fee and a defined scope. We do not bill hourly against your retainer and we do not surprise you at month-end.
New York standard
Built for the regulatory and operational density of the New York metro market. We know the filings, the auditors, the counterparties, and the rhythm.
The office
Quiet rooms. Serious work.
Our Midtown floor is built for the kind of work that requires concentration, confidentiality, and a great deal of paper. Five engagement rooms, a research desk, and a kitchen that stays stocked.

Contact
Begin with a conversation, not a pitch.
If your company is mid-market, headquartered or operating in the New York metro area, and facing a governance, financial, or operational transition — we should talk. The first meeting is forty-five minutes, on us, and always with a principal.
