EAC

What EAC does

EAC (Experienced Advisory Consultants LLC) is a Stamford, Connecticut-based professional services firm providing outsourced operational, accounting, and consulting services to asset management institutions including hedge funds, private equity firms, venture capital firms, broker-dealers, fund of hedge funds, and family offices. The firm operates twelve distinct service modules spanning the full fund lifecycle: Pre-Launch Consulting, Management Company Accounting, Fund Accounting, Middle Office Support, Front Office Optimization, Investor Relations and Executive Administrative Services, Operational Due Diligence, Treasury Services, Wind Down Services, Custom Projects, Retained Search, and Key Man Contingency Coverage. EAC positions itself as a 'partner and extension of the client's team' rather than a conventional outsourced provider, and the firm is a subsidiary of Suntera.

EAC generates revenue through professional services engagements delivered by a team of 11-50 senior practitioners, many of whom hold CPA credentials and have held CCO, CFO, and COO roles at premier asset management institutions such as Tiger Management, Citadel, FrontPoint Partners, BlackRock, McKinsey, PineBridge, and Merrill Lynch. The firm markets through a sales-led, relationship-driven GTM in which senior principals (including Managing Member Ed Fasano) lead client engagement directly, supported by a digital presence via eacllc.com. No pricing is publicly disclosed; engagements are quote-based and tailored to client needs, with revenue derived from recurring professional services contracts. Customer segments span pre-launch funds through complex multi-billion-dollar institutions, with services delivered directly by EAC staff in North America and Europe.

EAC is a private LLC domiciled in Connecticut with no public listing, funding events, or disclosed financials. The firm has built an ecosystem of partnerships spanning capital raising (Oakpoint Advisors), compliance technology (Pillar Compliance, Salus GRC), financial statement preparation (Phalanx), contract management (Quadrangle Consulting), retained search (Wall Street Options), IT integration (Align), and branding (Cassuto Design). The firm has no proprietary AI/ML or software platform; its differentiation rests entirely on the expertise of its senior practitioners and the depth of its operational integration with client institutions.
