CohnReznick Aldrich deal: partner pay matters more than revenue

Episode 94

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 • Duration 10:42

What decides whether CohnReznick's private-equity-backed purchase of Aldrich works? The episode argues it is not the $108 million in revenue, which already has three public versions, but the 48 partners: whether they stay, what they are paid after the scrape, and whether the EBITDA created by cutting their pay survives. It also covers the APS structure, cross-selling claims and the separate value of the Aldrich Wealth arm. Listeners learn how to build a partner table, why a 7 to 11 times multiple on scraped EBITDA raises the stakes, how to age WIP against past write-downs, how to set a working-capital peg before busy season, and why AICPA independence rules can cost clients or the deal. 0:00 Why revenue misleads in CPA firm deals 1:21 Private equity and alternative practice structures 2:51 Mapping partners, books and non-solicits 3:56 The partner pay scrape and EBITDA multiples 7:11 WIP, write-downs and the working-capital peg 8:35 AICPA independence rules and private equity

Starbucks Chipotle bid: why shareholders killed the deal

Episode 93

Tuesday, October 13, 2026 • Duration 09:02

Why did Starbucks break its no-comment policy to deny a Chipotle bid four days after the Financial Times report? The episode argues the market had already voted: a standard takeover premium meant paying about half of Starbucks' market value, synergies were thin, debt would rise to about six times operating profit, and an all-stock deal would cut earnings per share by about a tenth. It also weighs Brian Niccol's Chipotle history and the denial itself. Listeners leave able to read a share price drop as a shareholder vote on a deal, test debt and equity financing against dilution and capital spending, and run a leak test on their biggest deal or capital project. 0:00 Starbucks denies FT Chipotle bid report 2:09 Takeover premium, debt and EPS dilution 3:47 The Brian Niccol bull case 5:15 Chipotle's staff, silence and defence advisers 6:02 Was breaking no-comment policy smart? 7:38 CFO lessons and the deal leak test
