TRJ Advisors
PE • VC • Family Office Advisory

Operating depth your portcos need. Target intelligence your IC deserves.

We give mid-market funds and family offices senior CFO/COO leadership inside their portfolio companies — and AI-native target screening that turns thesis into IC-ready output in days, not months.

Mid-market PE • Lower-middle-market funds • Single-family offices. US, UK, Canada.

Built for funds that build, not just pick.

GPs running buy-and-build

Qualifying targets at fund pace without burning a year of analyst capacity.

Funds approaching exit

Institutionalizing portcos so the story holds up under buyer diligence.

Family offices deploying direct

Senior operating muscle and outside-in screening without standing up an in-house ops team.

Two tracks. One partner.

Track 1

Target Intelligence (sc0red™ + TRJ)

For ICs and platform teams. We translate your thesis into a digital screening engine, profile thousands of targets in hours, and return IC-ready diagnostic packs on the highest-fit candidates — financial profile, business-model risk, management read, competitive map. Capital readiness, not flattery.

Track 2

Portfolio C-Suite Advisory

For portcos at inflection points. We embed senior CFOs and COOs into your companies for the moments that move exit value: institutionalizing financials, scaling operations, repairing a stalled growth engine, preparing for a sell-side process. Operators who’ve sat in the seat — not consultants reading from a deck.

You should call us if…

01

Your portcos are pursuing buy-and-build and you need a thesis-driven qualification engine that works at fund pace.

02

A portco is 12–18 months from exit and the financial story isn’t yet institutional-grade.

03

You’re bandwidth-constrained at the fund level and need senior operators on call for portco interventions.

04

You need consistent intelligence across multiple portfolio companies in parallel — without rebuilding the wheel for each.

05

Your direct-investing family office wants screening rigor without staffing an in-house deal team.

Three ways to work with us.

Per-thesis screen + IC pack

One-time, fixed-scope deliverable.

Embedded fractional CFO/COO

Ongoing mandate inside a specific portco.

Fund-level retainer

Recurring screens, standing C-suite availability, periodic thesis benchmarking across the portfolio.

Common questions.

Most theses are scoped and live within five business days. First IC-ready packs typically follow within two weeks.
Defined scope, defined exit. We agree on the mandate (typically 90–180 days), the metrics, and the handover plan in week one.
Mutual NDA upfront. Thesis schemas are siloed per fund. sc0red™ instances are partitioned by client.
Mid-market PE, lower-middle-market funds, and family offices deploying $25M–$500M+ per platform.

Twenty-five minutes is enough to know if this fits.
