What Kinetic Partners does

Kroll is a global financial and risk advisory firm headquartered at One World Trade Center, New York, with operations across more than 30 countries and approximately 6,500 experts. The firm provides independent advisory services spanning valuation, financial advisory, risk advisory, business services (including settlement and restructuring administration), and compliance/regulation. Its client base includes 6 of 10 Fortune 500 companies, served through five core segments: global corporations, financial institutions, alternative asset managers, regulated entities, and legal/financial industry participants. Engagement terms are customized via letters of engagement, statements of work, and multi-year retainer arrangements.

Kroll combines expert-led advisory with proprietary technology platforms. It has invested in digital risk intelligence through the 2022 acquisitions of Resolver (cloud-based risk, audit, compliance, incident, and information-security software) and Crisp (AI trained over 16 years to discover and track risk signals across open, deep, and dark web). Additional proprietary assets include the Kroll Private Capital Markets Platform, which delivers private capital benchmarks and transaction data for deal sourcing and valuation, and Managed Compliance Software, which embeds Kroll's regulatory knowledge into financial-services clients' compliance programs.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees, transaction-based advisory via licensed broker-dealer entities (Kroll Securities, LLC, FINRA/SIPC member in the US; Kroll Securities Ltd, FCA-regulated in the UK), managed services for settlement and restructuring administration, and SEBI-regulated valuation advisory in India (Kroll Advisory Private Limited). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by thought leadership, owned industry events, and joint webinars with partners such as CrowdStrike. Kroll is privately held by Delta Parent Holdings Inc. and was rebranded from Duff & Phelps LLC.
