Who we are

North Star Partners is a boutique valuations advisory firm built for today’s investment landscape.

We provide high-quality, independent valuations to mid-market private credit and private equity funds with speed, discretion, and commercial sense.

Our model is lean by design. Thanks to our efficient structure, we deliver institutional-level quality valuations without the overheads of the big firms.

We combine deep financial expertise with modern tools to deliver our work with speed and precision. Whether you're responding to LP requests, preparing financial statements, or dealing with a transaction, we provide fast, defensible valuations that you can trust.

We work as true partners to our clients: agile, responsive, and sharply focused on quality.

Our Mission

We were founded in 2025 with the mission of helping small and mid-market funds with their portfolio valuations. We believe that these funds should be able to access institutional quality valuations at a much lower cost, so that they can focus on what really matters to them - their investments.
