We see accelerating interest in professional services and similar B2B human capital-based services firms. These business and operating models have unique opportunities, cultures and legacies, as illustrated in the recent debate by retired partners of #GrantThornton demanding a higher payout of vested retirement benefits. There also are significant changes on the horizon in the competitive landscape, delivery models, implications of AI on productivity, workforce demographics, so all the more reason to have a specialist like #Virtaspartners on your side.
