Why Houlihan Capital
What Sets Us Apart Is How We're Structured
The firm is structured around three principles: independence, analytical rigor, and direct access to senior advisors on every engagement.
As an employee-owned firm, our only incentive is the quality of our work. We have no affiliated broker relationships, no pressure to cross-sell, and no reason to recommend anything other than what the analysis supports.
Every engagement is managed by senior advisors from kickoff to delivery. Engagements are not transitioned to junior teams mid-process, and status updates are provided proactively.
Our methodologies meet institutional standards across audit, regulatory, and legal contexts. Houlihan Capital maintains SOC-compliant systems, and transaction opinions are issued through Houlihan Capital, LLC, member FINRA. The work is designed to support review at every level.
Specialized Markets
Experience in the Markets That Demand It Most
Some industries require more than standard valuation methodology. Our team has built specific expertise in sectors where regulatory complexity, non-traditional assets, and rapidly changing market conditions make generalist approaches inadequate.

Crypto & Digital Assets
Portfolio valuations developed to support auditor and LP review in a rapidly evolving asset class.

Cannabis & Alternative Health
Valuations for operators navigating complex and evolving regulatory and market conditions.

Private Equity & Venture Capital
Lifecycle support from initial investment through exit, including portfolio valuations, fairness opinions, and M&A advisory.
We apply consistent, documented methodology to every valuation and opinion. The analysis is built to support review by boards, auditors, regulators, and courts, because that’s what our clients need it to do.
Every client works directly with senior advisors from kickoff to delivery. The senior advisors introduced at kickoff are the professionals performing the analysis.
Our engagements are scoped and priced for middle market complexity, not scaled down from large-cap models or adapted from small business templates. The middle market has its own dynamics, and our work reflects that.
How We Work
A Process Built for Consequential Work
Every engagement starts with a direct conversation about the situation, the timeline, and what the analysis needs to accomplish. From there, a senior advisor owns the work from start to finish.
