GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group

What GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group does

GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group is a privately held, multi-disciplinary financial advisory firm founded in 2001 in Atlanta by Ian Ratner and Ron Glass. The firm operates seven integrated practice areas: Restructuring & Turnaround Management, Forensic Accounting & Litigation Support & Expert Witness Services, Valuation Advisory, Engineering & Construction Consulting, Deals & Due Diligence & Transaction Support, Executive Search & Interim Management, and Real Estate Services. Across 25 years the firm has executed 5,000+ matters and delivered $600M+ in professional services, serving distressed companies, court-appointed fiduciaries, law firms, government agencies, private equity sponsors, and family offices across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The firm has approximately 200 team members distributed across 15+ North American offices, with headquarters in Atlanta and Toronto and a presence extending to Boca Raton, Calgary, Dallas, Detroit/Southfield, Houston, Irvine, Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal, New York, Overland Park, Phoenix/Scottsdale, San Diego, and Mexico City. Technology is non-proprietary: the firm applies specialized analytical tools, financial modeling platforms, forensic data analytics, and Primavera P6 scheduling software rather than marketing its own platform. The firm's competitive positioning rests on cross-border execution capability, league-table credibility (BankruptcyData, The Deal), and senior practitioner bench depth drawn from former Big 4 partners, SEC/DOJ investigators, CIRPs, and CPAs.

Revenue is earned through project-based professional services fees structured as hourly rates for senior practitioners, fixed project fees, or engagement-based retainers; pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. The firm monetizes through restructuring mandates (debtor and creditor advisory, court-appointed fiduciary roles), forensic accounting and expert witness engagements, valuation opinions, M&A and capital markets advisory, executive search and interim placements, and real estate receivership and construction consulting services. Distribution is direct and senior-led, supplemented by referral pipelines through IIC Partners (executive search), BTG Global Advisory (restructuring), and the GlassRatner Global Valuation Alliance (25 affiliated firms). GlassRatner has been owned by TorQuest Partners since June 2025 following its divestiture from B. Riley Financial.
