Who We Are
Brentwood Associates is a Los Angeles-based private equity firm with over 30 years of experience investing in middle-market growth businesses. Our investment strategy is focused on companies providing essential services and products, including tech-enabled business services and software companies. Since 1984, we've backed more than 50 companies, with a combined transaction value exceeding $7 billion. Our specialty is partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs and management teams to scale great businesses, typically through control transaction in fragmented markets that benefit from consolidation and product or service innovation. If you love numbers, deals, and the thrill of building something big, you’ll fit right in. Check us out at
What You’ll Be Doing
We’re looking for a highly motivated Associate to join our tech-enabled Business Services investment team. This role puts you in the driver’s seat of deal sourcing, due diligence, financial modeling, and portfolio management. Translation: you’ll be at the heart of the action, working closely with senior leadership and portfolio company executives to help shape the future of our investments.
You will be leading the evaluation of differentiated tech-enabled business services and software companies with up to $75 million of annual recurring revenue, strong growth profiles of 15-20%+, and attractive gross margins and cash flow profiles. We target businesses in fragmented end markets where there is an opportunity to supplement strong organic growth with thoughtful and strategic add-on acquisitions. Such end markets include education technology, healthcare technology, and financial technology/integrated payments, among other vertically focused markets.
If you’re the kind of person who enjoys dissecting businesses, diving into financial models, and debating the finer points of EBITDA over coffee, this might be the perfect role for you.
Location: Los Angeles, CA (in-office Monday-Thursday, with flexible Fridays). Strong preference for candidates that prefer an in-office working environment (West LA, near Westwood) with strong ties to the LA area.
Timing/Program Length: Immediate start. This program is a two-year commitment, with an opportunity to earn a third year based on exceptional performance and fit. The firm is built from within, with tenured employees at all levels.
