What is FDI?

Finance & Data Intelligence for sponsors and operators

STOC Advisory's Finance & Data Intelligence (FDI) offering helps private equity-backed and founder-led companies build a single, reliable view of performance across the deal and portfolio lifecycle. We partner alongside sponsors, CFOs, and operating leaders to centralize financial and operating data, link KPIs to EBITDA, and support better decisions from sourcing through exit.

Our Approach

1. Centralize and standardize the data

Aggregate financial, operational, CRM, and site-level inputs into a consistent reporting structure so teams operate from one version of the truth.

2. Build driver-based insight

Develop KPI trees, unit economics, cohort views, and variance bridges that connect operating drivers to revenue, margin, cash flow, and valuation.

3. Enable ongoing decision-making

Embed dashboards, reporting cadences, and scenario models that support deal teams, portfolio leadership, boards, and lenders throughout the hold period.

Let's turn fragmented data into investment‑grade insight. Reach out to schedule a discovery session with our FDI team.
