About

We are a rapidly growing commercial financial consultancy that accelerates excellence and supports ambitious businesses undergoing change, partnering with CFOs to create and realise value.

Located in central London and Manchester, our expert team of senior professionals are trusted partners to high-growth businesses, sponsors and advisors across the world.

Our story

Swan Partners was established in 2013 with a clear mission – to be the most sought-after partner for CFOs undergoing change.

We saw first hand the strain on CFOs and the impact on the finance function who continue to run the day to day processes during these periods of change. However, by working collaboratively with the finance function to ensure they have the right information, data and tools in place, this means they are able to be the driving force behind business growth and transformation.

That’s why we’ve built our offering around the needs of these businesses, supporting CFOs to achieve their goals with confidence across the entire business lifecycle. With our expertise rooted in industry and advisory, we take a pragmatic and commercial approach, bringing clarity, quality and speed.

Now, as a unique team of over 40 senior professionals with an average of 13 years’ experience, we regularly work with CFOs, private equity and advisors to create and realise value in ambitious businesses.

It’s what we know best – we’ve already worked on 900 projects, with over 100 private equity houses, in 22 countries, accelerating excellence every step of the way.

Our mission

We accelerate excellence by working alongside CFOs undergoing change. We provide hands-on commercial and financial expertise to create and realise value.

With a pragmatic approach, we bring clarity, quality and speed – resolve bottlenecks, reduce pressures and deliver impactful outcomes. As an extension of the finance function, we empower CFOs to achieve their goals with confidence across the whole business lifecycle.

Our impact

Giving back to our local communities and the environment around us has always been a core tenet of our business. Having established our ESG and sustainability committees, we have actively identified areas where we can make a real difference while considering the environmental impact of all our decisions.

To support our local communities, we partnered with Migrant Leaders, regularly conducting workshops for mentees on the scheme to equip them with important skills. We have also offered mentorship opportunities, providing a number of the mentees with 1-2 week paid internships to give them vital insight into the work we do. This recently resulted in us winning Migrant Leaders’ Corporate Impact Award 2025, recognising our commitment to social mobility, diversity and inclusion.

To protect the environment around us, we use donations to compensate for our carbon footprint. By using the Ecoligi platform, we invest in companies that are making a positive impact on the environment.

We also regularly donate to a number of charities, along with our matched giving scheme which supports the incredible work our people do in raising funds for charities close to their hearts.
