Camigo

What Camigo does

Camigo Consulting is a privately held, founder-owned growth and M&A advisory firm headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Founded in 2022 by Ken McAndrew, the firm targets owner-led professional service businesses in Ireland, including accounting firms and consulting businesses, as well as UK-based and international private equity firms acquiring Irish professional services platforms. Camigo positions itself around pre-exit value creation rather than purely transactional execution, competing against generic Irish corporate advisors on the basis of sector specialization and a partnership-style engagement model.

The firm's service portfolio is organized around two core offerings, Growth Advisory and M&A Advisory, with three supporting modules: Sell Side Advisory (preparing and positioning a business for sale over extended engagements), Buy Side Advisory (managing acquisition pipelines through offer, due diligence, and closing), and Value Creation (supporting integration of acquisitions and identifying revenue and cost synergies). Documented engagements include an 18-month sell-side mandate for a Top 20 Irish accounting firm sold to a UK PE-backed platform, a 2+ year growth advisory mandate for an Irish tech and consulting business, value creation work for a UK PE consolidator, and buy-side advisory for an Irish accounting platform executing strategic acquisitions.

Camigo operates with a small Dublin-based team and generates revenue exclusively through bespoke professional services fees on advisory engagements. Go-to-market is relationship-led, relying on the founder's personal network and referrals rather than formalized marketing or distribution channels. There is no disclosed pricing, no external funding, no parent company, and no technology platform underlying the service offering. The firm has cross-border deal experience spanning Ireland and the United Kingdom but has not announced geographic expansion beyond these markets.

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte Ireland Corporate Finance: Deloitte Ireland's Corporate Finance team provides M&A advisory, due diligence, and integration services to Irish clients. As a Big-4 firm, it competes across the deal spectrum, including in the professional services mid-market that is Camigo's core focus.
• BDO Ireland: BDO Ireland is a member of the global BDO network providing corporate finance and M&A advisory, including mid-market deal advisory in Ireland. They directly compete with Camigo for buy-side/sell-side professional services mandates, but operate as a broad, multi-service accounting/advisory firm rather than a sector specialist.
• FTI Consulting Corporate Finance: FTI Consulting is the global advisory firm where Camigo's founder Ken McAndrew previously served as Managing Director in Corporate Finance. FTI continues to compete directly in the Irish mid-market M&A space and offers broader service capabilities than Camigo's focused boutique model.
• Grant Thornton Ireland: Grant Thornton Ireland provides corporate finance and deal advisory, frequently working on Irish mid-market transactions across multiple sectors including professional services. As a larger multi-service firm, it competes with Camigo on both buy-side and sell-side mandates but lacks the focused professional services specialism.
• KPMG Ireland Corporate Finance: KPMG Ireland's Corporate Finance practice advises on M&A transactions across Ireland and internationally, including deals in the professional services sector. It's a Big-4 incumbent with substantially larger resource pools and competes with Camigo for both PE-led and owner-founder mandates.
• Houlihan Lokey: Houlihan Lokey is a global investment bank with deep M&A advisory experience across mid-market and large-cap transactions, including services consolidation deals. It competes with Camigo on cross-border Irish professional services M&A, and the founder's FTI pedigree signals overlap in competitive positioning.

Direct peers

• Clearwater International: Clearwater International is a global independent mid-market M&A advisory firm with significant activity in Ireland and the UK, advising on sell-side, buy-side, and growth mandates. It is a direct competitor to Camigo's boutique mid-market advisory positioning in the Irish professional services sector.
• Origin Group: Origin Group is an Irish boutique M&A advisory firm providing corporate finance and strategic advisory services primarily to mid-market Irish businesses. It competes directly with Camigo in the Irish boutique M&A advisory market, including for professional services-sector transactions.
• Cavendish Corporate Finance: Cavendish Corporate Finance is a UK-based mid-market M&A advisory boutique advising on sell-side, buy-side, and growth mandates, often for owner-led service businesses. It is a direct peer to Camigo's boutique mid-market advisory model and frequently competes for cross-border deals involving Irish professional services firms.
• IBI Corporate Finance: IBI Corporate Finance is an Irish boutique M&A advisory firm focused on mid-market transactions, frequently advising Irish owner-led businesses and PE consolidators. It directly competes with Camigo on Irish sell-side and buy-side mandates in the professional services space.
