OC&C advises on sale of AAB to Goldman Sachs Alternatives

Congratulations to August Equity on the sale of AAB to Goldman Sachs Alternatives. OC&C supported August Equity with vendor commercial due diligence.

AAB is a leading professional, business, and wealth services group, delivering essential support to businesses and individuals. Since partnering with August Equity in 2021, AAB has scaled significantly through a combination of organic growth and an ambitious buy-and-build strategy, completing 16 acquisitions and expanding its team to over 1,000 employees across the UK and Ireland.

This transaction represents a significant milestone in AAB’s journey. The investment from Goldman Sachs Alternatives will support the next phase of the firm’s growth, underpinned by strong fundamentals and a clear strategic trajectory.

Supporting this transaction further reinforces OC&C’s deep expertise in the professional services sector, particularly in the accounting and Office of the CFO space.

We look forward to seeing the continued success of August Equity, AAB, and Goldman Sachs Alternatives.
