Strategic Acquisition NOVUM Consulting Group was acquired by Aperture in August 2024, signaling a consolidation of financial consulting and expert services under a national forensics platform. This presents an opportunity to position integrated offerings across forensics, valuation, and expert witness services to existing Aperture clients and cross-sell to entities expanding with Aperture footprint.

Forensic Expansion Aperture’s expansion into Southeast markets and Texas through new offices and partnerships creates a growing demand for specialized financial advisory, economic damages analysis, and licensing negotiations. Target law firms, corporations, and government agencies in these regions with NOVUM’s capabilities bundled into Aperture’s regional growth strategy.

Valuation and Disputes NOVUM specializes in economic, financial, and expert valuation for intellectual property and commercial disputes. There is a clear cross-sell path to clients involved in IP infringement cases, class action suits, and corporate transactions that require robust valuation and damages analyses for litigation support.

Technology Stack Utilize NOVUM’s tech stack—Tableau, NetSuite, Box, and other analytics tools—to demonstrate data-driven dispute analytics and efficient project management. Offer joint capabilities to clients seeking transparent, tech-enabled financial consulting and forensic support within Aperture’s platform.

Growth Readiness With revenues in the low-to-mid seven-figure range and a lean team, NOVUM and Aperture can target mid-market corporations and institutions undergoing mergers, IP disputes, or regulatory investigations. Propose scalable engagement models and bundled services to maximize revenue per client as Aperture accelerates national expansion.
