We are a Buy-Side focused merger & acquisition advisory firm (not a Sell-Side brokerage) that works exclusively with clients and candidates in the IT Services industry throughout the USA and Canada.

We work with companies who are MSP’s, Cyber Security/MSSP, Cloud/Hosted Services, SaaS, IT Software, Application Development and all other Information Technology focused businesses.

The Cogent team combines IT industry specific acquisition transaction experience with deep IT operations know-how to help our clients and acquisition candidates in the IT Services sector discover the Opportunity-Delta™ that will allow them to join forces and swiftly grow into a more successful company that can produce significantly improved financial results and greater equity value.

We have custom tailored our due diligence work flows to the IT Services industry, so no time is wasted on generic requests, and all the information is loaded into our proprietary Transaction Analysis Modeling system (“TAM™”) that allows us to assemble an in-depth breakdown of a Candidate company and not only understand their history and recent performance (like a Quality of Earnings report would) but we go even further to look at current and future personnel, customers, operational needs, culture fit, consolidation opportunities, sales objectives, and more; uncovering the potential synergies that make the Opportunity-Delta™ a reality.
