We have advised the founders and shareholders of CPM Partners, a leading European consultancy and technology services provider focused on corporate performance management (CPM), on the sale of a majority stake to Deutsche Private Equity (DPE).

With this transaction, CPM Partners is set to accelerate its growth and expand its capabilities in delivering complex transformation projects for CFOs across Europe. The company helps CFOs and their teams to maximise the use of technology. The firm supports organisations in streamlining core finance processes, such as consolidation, planning, reporting, ESG and tax, through tailored and end-to-end digital solutions. This enables the office of the CFO to boost transparency, compliance, and efficiency.

Headquartered in Geneva, CPM Partners employs over 220 professionals and serves a blue-chip client base across industries. The company was created through the merger of Satriun and Inplenion in 2022, and it has developed into one of Europe’s leading CPM specialists.

DPE is one of the leading mid-market investors in the DACH region with over €3bn in assets under management. The firm brings extensive sector expertise in digitalisation and B2B services.
