From Slow to Decisive: Fireside Chat on Deal-Velocity Decision Making for PE CFOs

Every deal cycle, the same pressure: tighter timelines, faster processes, and the expectation to reach conviction before the second round. Bid-ask spreads on mid-market assets are narrow, and processes that used to run ten weeks are now closing in four.

The gap isn’t data availability. It’s decision architecture — who owns which numbers, where judgment sits, how diligence flows between fund finance, FP&A, and deal teams, and how macro volatility (tariffs, rate swings) gets priced into a model built weeks ago.

The mandate isn’t to move faster. It’s to move faster *without breaking the system* — compressing time-to-conviction while preserving diligence quality, aligning teams, and operationalizing judgment in real time.

You know there’s a better way.

Join Alex Churchill, CRO of Equiforte, for a private, 45-minute fireside chat on how mid-market PE finance teams are compressing decision timelines without compromising diligence quality.
