Seabury Group

What Seabury Group does

Seabury Capital Group (formerly Seabury Group) is a privately held investment and advisory firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in New York. The firm operates as a holding company for an interconnected portfolio of subsidiaries serving the aviation, aerospace, defense, logistics, transportation, travel, and financial technology sectors. Its core competencies include restructuring, turnaround, and investment banking advisory services delivered through FINRA-, NFA-, and FCA-regulated subsidiaries, with notable mandates including the SAS transformation, Norse Atlantic Airways strategic advisory, and the SR Technics divestment to easyJet.

The group's technology and operating stack comprises multiple proprietary platforms: Seabury Solutions (established 2002) provides digital transformation, MRO, regulatory/safety management (Eauthority), and simulation/training software for airlines; FXone and Spotex provide FX and cryptocurrency electronic trading under Seabury Global Markets; Seabury Trade Finance Exchange operates a digital trade finance platform; and Seabury Payment Plan extends working capital financing. Additional operating units include Seabury Asset Management (with four investment vehicles: SeaVS, SeaRam, SeaLynx, SeaTRCapital), SGI Aviation Services for aircraft technical asset management across the Netherlands, Asia, and Guernsey, and Seabury Energy & Metals Technologies with Africa-focused operations in South Africa and Kenya.

Revenue is generated across five streams: investment banking and advisory fees (transaction and success-based compensation), asset management fees (management and performance), software licensing (subscription/licensing), aircraft technical asset management (professional services), and financial services/trading (transaction fees). Seabury Capital operates 28 offices across 16 countries on five continents with 101-250 employees, serving enterprise clients primarily in the aviation vertical. Importantly, Accenture has acquired Seabury Group's corporate advisory and aviation consulting business, representing a significant portfolio reshaping while Seabury Capital Group continues to operate its remaining subsidiaries.
