Our Purpose
Our purpose is to enable healthy, high-performing business through the development of purpose-driven, people-centric professional services firms.
TiER1 Impact is an employee-owned, professional services development company. We aim to invest in, develop, and grow professional services firms that have a long-term outlook and an interest in helping clients build healthier, more holistically successful organizations. We believe purpose-driven professional services organizations can have a substantive impact on the health of businesses, the communities they serve, and the employees they engage and develop, ultimately creating greater value for all and in turn returning excess financial value to employee owners and investors.

Acquisition Strategy
The workplace has been changed by the creativity, leadership, and innovations of entrepreneurs and the ideas they’ve brought to life. Yet, managing through the ups and downs of a services business makes scaling those very ideas challenging. We see that as an opportunity for creating mutual value and collectively unleashing new potential. For professional services leaders who are looking for a way to preserve what is cherished about intimate, people-centered organizations but also know there can be something more, we may be a fit.
Valuation & Succession
The value of a business isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people, potential, and what comes next. For many consulting firm owners, questions around valuation and succession can feel complex and obscure. Few have been through a sale, and even fewer know where to begin.
Drawing on two decades of experience in evaluating, acquiring, and partnering with services firms, we offer a perspective to help demystify the process. If you’re beginning to think about the future of your firm—whether for growth, transition, or legacy—this guide is a place to start.
