Cadence Consulting

What Cadence Consulting does

Cadence Consulting is a strategic finance advisory firm operating across Latin America, structured as a boutique practice integrating strategy and execution under a single team. Its service model spans four pillars: Investment Banking & M&A (buy-side and sell-side advisory, mergers, divestitures, capital raises), Structured Finance (project finance, debt structuring, capital architecture), Growth & Startup Advisory (fundraising strategy, CFO-level guidance for high-growth companies), and Strategic Advisory (valuations, market positioning, capital allocation, corporate strategy). The firm's stated differentiation is that the same team shapes capital strategy and structures the transaction, eliminating the handoff between strategy consultants and investment bankers.

The firm delivers advisory services directly through three named senior professionals: Juan David Pastor (Partner), Sebastián González (Partner), and Germán Casas (Advisor Partner), with backgrounds spanning investment banking, corporate strategy, and venture capital. GTM is exclusively direct and relationship-based, with prospective clients initiating contact through a website form routed to a partner email. No proprietary technology, software product, or AI capability is described; the value proposition rests on human expertise and senior-led engagement. Documented track record includes M&A advisory for a Colombian manufacturer (2023), project finance for a solar developer (2024), financial structuring for an education institution (2024), and pre-seed fundraising for a tech startup (2024).

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but follow typical professional services norms: project-based or retainer fees for strategic finance mandates. The operating perimeter is governed by Colombian law (Law 1581 of 2012) and the website positions Latin America as the geographic scope. The firm is private, with 1-10 employees and no disclosed funding, institutional investors, or parent company. Note: the firmographic record assigns an Australian (Newcastle) address and a 2010 founding year, which conflicts with the website's Colombian jurisdiction and Latin America positioning; the website and privacy policy are treated as the primary source for actual operating location.

Core offering

Cadence Consulting is a strategic finance practice integrating advisory, capital structure, and transaction execution across Latin America. It delivers four service disciplines under one continuous engagement: Investment Banking & M&A (buy/sell-side advisory, mergers, divestitures, capital raises), Structured Finance (project finance, debt structuring, capital architecture), Growth & Startup Advisory (fundraising strategy, CFO-level guidance), and Strategic Advisory (valuations, market positioning, capital allocation, corporate strategy).

Product overview

Cadence Consulting operates as a Strategic Finance Practice offering an integrated suite of four professional services: Investment Banking & M&A, Structured Finance, Growth & Startup Advisory, and Strategic Advisory. Rather than a traditional product platform, Cadence delivers these as an integrated consulting practice where the same team provides both strategic thinking and financial execution — the plan and the deal as one continuous engagement.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BTG Pactual: Latin America's largest independent investment bank with full-service IB, M&A, and structured finance offerings across the region. A much larger incumbent whose strategy and capital-markets services overlap materially with Cadence's positioning.
• McKinsey & Company: Premier global management consulting firm with extensive corporate-strategy and corporate-finance advisory practices across Latin America. Overlaps on the strategic advisory side of Cadence's integrated offering, with significantly broader scale.
• Bain & Company: Top-tier global management consultancy providing corporate strategy, M&A advisory, and performance improvement with active LatAm offices. Comparable on the strategic advisory dimension that Cadence integrates with its execution layer.
• Rothschild & Co: Global investment bank with deep mid-market M&A and strategic advisory franchise and active Latin American coverage. Operates at larger scale but competes for the same integrated advisory mandates Cadence targets.
• Lazard: Global financial advisory firm offering strategic and M&A advisory plus asset management with established Latin American practices. A larger incumbent competing for the same strategic-finance advisory engagements Cadence serves.

Emerging players

• Corum Group (Corpybank): Specialist M&A advisory boutique focused on technology and growth-stage companies, including Latin American tech M&A. Comparable as a smaller peer in the integrated-advisory-for-growth-companies niche that Cadence's Growth & Startup Advisory practice addresses.

Direct peers

• LarraínVial: Chile-headquartered investment bank and asset manager active across Latin America offering M&A advisory, capital markets, and structured finance — directly comparable to Cadence's integrated advisory-and-execution practice serving mid-market LatAm clients.
• Miranda Partners: Mexico-based independent advisory firm focused on M&A, debt restructuring, and strategic advisory for mid-market Latin American corporates — closely comparable boutique peer serving the same regional deal-flow pool as Cadence.
• Lincoln International: Global mid-market M&A advisory firm combining strategic thinking with transaction execution across sectors. A direct peer in the boutique integrated-advisory model Cadence pursues, with established LatAm coverage.
• Credicorp Capital: Andean-region investment bank offering M&A advisory, equity capital markets, and structured finance to corporate clients in Peru, Colombia, Chile, and beyond — serving a similar mid-market Latin American client base with comparable integrated advisory services.
