What Seabury Consulting does

Seabury Capital Group (operating under the legacy name Seabury Consulting) is a privately held diversified financial services holding company founded in 1995 and headquartered in New York. The firm operates four core business lines: (1) Aviation, Aerospace & Defense advisory and investment banking — Seabury Aviation Partners, Seabury Securities, and Seabury Corporate Finance deliver restructuring, turnaround, M&A, and capital markets advisory to airlines, MRO providers, aerospace manufacturers, and defense contractors globally; (2) Asset Management — Seabury Capital Management and the Financial Asset Management division (including Seabury Asset Management, Merchant Banking, SeaVS, SeaRam, SeaLynx, SeaTRCapital) deploy funds across aviation, aerospace, logistics, travel, and technology; (3) Financial Services & Trading — Seabury Global Markets operates FXone and Spotex (FX and now cryptocurrency trading), Seabury Trade Finance Exchange, Seabury Payment Plan, and SeaCap Securities; (4) IT & Enterprise Software — Seabury Solutions (established 2002) provides MRO software, regulatory and safety management (Seabury Eauthority), simulation/training, and digital transformation, plus Seabury Energy & Metals Technologies. The group owns FINRA-, NFA-, and FCA-regulated entities in the U.S. and U.K. and reaches customers through 28 offices across 16 countries on five continents.

Revenue mechanics span advisory and restructuring fees (transaction-based), management fees and carried interest on funds, recurring software licensing and subscription revenue (Seabury Solutions, MRO Services, Eauthority), and transaction-based / fee-based revenue from FX, crypto, trade finance, and payment platforms. Go-to-market is enterprise-led: senior bankers and advisors secure mandate-based engagements directly with airline, aerospace, defense, and financial institution clients, supplemented by conference participation (Global Aerospace Summit, ISTAT Learning Lab), an active newsroom/LinkedIn/Twitter presence, and embedded aircraft technical asset management through SGI Aviation Services. Seabury also has limited exposure through a related entity (Seabury Resources for Aging) into social-impact programs in partnership with healthcare and government counterparties.

A material corporate event in the firm's history is Accenture's prior acquisition of Seabury Group's corporate advisory and aviation consulting business, leaving Seabury Capital Group's remaining operations intact. Most recent strategic moves include a 2025 strategic combination with Plane View Partners forming an expanded Seabury Aviation Partners, an anchor investor role in Aero X Ventures' AXV Fund II targeting deep-tech aviation/aerospace/defense, and 2026 partnership with UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of D.C. launching the Housing Stabilization Fund.
