Eaton Square

What Eaton Square does

Eaton Square Pty Ltd is a privately held cross-border M&A and capital services advisory firm founded in 2008 by Reece Adnams and headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. The firm serves technology, services, and growth companies globally, with stated operations across 25 offices in 9 countries (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Italy, Spain, China/Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia) and a network of over 100 senior professionals averaging 25-30 years of M&A experience. Its core offerings are organized into five service lines: Mergers and Acquisitions Advisory, Capital Raising (private debt and public markets via the SPP Capital Partners relationship), Private Debt, Public Markets, and Transaction Readiness. The firm differentiates on cross-border mandate execution, a buyer database of over 3,500 private equity groups, and an Associate Network of retired executives that drives origination.

The firm's revenue model is professional services fee-based, with bespoke quote-based pricing per mandate reflecting the bespoke nature of M&A advisory; no subscription, recurring, or publicly disclosed pricing exists. Customer segments are diversified across IT Technology, Services (IT, Management Consulting, Engineering, Digital Media, Professional Services, Recruiting), Life Sciences, and Growth verticals (Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, FMCG, Agriculture). Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by Principal-led direct engagement, professional advisor referrals (CPAs, lawyers, bankers), and content marketing including blogs, podcasts, webinars, and a gated 'Complete Guide to Selling Your Business' eBook. A 'Deal Book' mobile application (iOS/Android) serves as a credibility and prospecting tool.

In August 2025, Eaton Square established Silicon, a wholly-owned subsidiary providing AI-enabled global sourcing for critical minerals (rare earths, specialty metals, advanced materials) targeting AI-sector and industrial multinationals. In February 2026, Silicon announced a strategic partnership with Klear Inc. integrating AI-enabled sourcing with Klear's Capital Intelligence platform for end-to-end procurement, logistics, and treasury visibility. The partnership projects over $100 million in new 2026 contracts with growth trajectory exceeding 225% CAGR, though this remains a forward-looking projection tied to a single newly announced alliance.
