Acquisition leverage W Squared was acquired by LBMC in 2017, presenting an opportunity to cross-sell LBMC’s larger suite of professional services to W Squared’s existing client base in finance, accounting, payroll, HR, technology, and procurement.

Scale and footprint As a Tennessee-based outsourcing firm with a lean team (11-50 employees) and revenue in the 1–10 million range, there is potential to introduce scalable outsourcing solutions, enhance capacity through LBMC’s resources, and upsell premium services.

Tech-enablement W Squared utilizes modern tools and platforms (Microsoft 365, Azure, OpenAI, WordPress, Simpli.fi, Mimecast) which indicates openness to digital transformation projects, AI-driven process improvements, and cloud-based service delivery that can be expanded.

Market positioning Operating in outsourcing and offshoring consulting with a broad service mix including finance, accounting, payroll, HR, technology, and procurement positions the company to target mid-market firms seeking integrated back-office solutions and vendor consolidation.

Growth opportunities The combination of LBMC’s scale and W Squared’s service portfolio suggests upsell opportunities in consulting, managed services, and technology-enabled finance transformation, as well as potential expansion into adjacent markets and larger client engagements.
