What Our Clients Say

PE professionals across Canada on working with Gildenfell Finance.

"Gildenfell gave us a risk dashboard we actually use. Their team understands PE—no awkward questions about why we hold certain positions. They just get it."

Michael Chen
Managing Partner · Ashford Capital (Toronto)

"We switched auditors because our previous firm couldn't track deployment velocity across our three funds. Gildenfell built a system that does. Game-changer."

Sarah Okonkwo
Chief Financial Officer · Venture Growth Partners (Vancouver)

"Their portfolio analysis caught a sector concentration issue we'd missed. That one insight probably saved us from a bad decision. Worth every dollar."

James Rutherford
Partner · Equity Holdings Inc. (Calgary)

Founded by Former Fund Auditors

Gildenfell Finance LLP was founded in 2020 by a team with deep roots in private equity operations and institutional auditing. We saw a gap: most audit firms treat PE portfolios like corporate accounts. We built something different—a practice shaped entirely by the rhythms and realities of fund management.

Today we serve fund managers across Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, offering the kind of insight that only comes from having been on both sides of the table.
