Alternative investment manager specializing in private equity, debt, and operational turnarounds
AURELIUS is a London-based alternative investor managing over €5B across private equity, private debt, and real estate funds, with 400+ professionals across 9 offices in Europe and North America. The hiring and project mix reveals a firm in active scaling mode: finance and operations roles dominate the open pipeline, while active workstreams center on post-deal integration, tax structuring, and go-to-market buildout—consistent with their operational value-creation model. Tech adoption (Power BI, LucaNet, UiPath, Make/Zapier) signals systematic digitization of financial reporting and deal operations, though the stack remains finance-first rather than product-forward.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Financial Officer, Head of Growth, Head of M&A, Head of Finance
AURELIUS acquires companies and assets with operational improvement potential—carve-outs, platform builds, and succession solutions—across mid-market and lower-mid-market segments. The firm has completed over 300 transactions since 2005 and is a public company trading on German and Vienna stock exchanges. Revenue generation flows from management fees and carry on deployed capital. The organization is operationally intensive: deal sourcing, due diligence, portfolio company management, and exit execution drive most headcount. Recent expansion into North America and growing tax/finance teams reflect both portfolio scale-up and tighter regulatory/reporting requirements.
AURELIUS deploys LucaNet for consolidation, Power BI for analytics, IBM Cognos for reporting, and Excel-based models. Recent automation investments include UiPath, Make, and Zapier for workflow integration.
Current priorities include post-acquisition integration, tax-efficient structuring, CRM adoption, sales function optimization, liquidity management, and go-to-market strategy for portfolio companies.
