Big-4 Rigor. Fortune 500 Acumen. Concierge Devotion.
Founded in 2012 in Plano, Texas, Garber² Partners bridges the gap between institutional corporate finance and growing private enterprises. We deliver hospital-grade internal audit controls and commercial FP&A advisory directly to boutique medical practices and privately held commercial enterprises across North Texas and nationwide.
The Concierge Philosophy
Why boutique businesses deserve Big-4 precision without Big-4 billable bureaucracy.
Partner-Level Devotion
At traditional firms, the senior partner pitches the account, and then hands your general ledger to junior staff or offshore contractors. At Garber² Partners, Leigh Ann Garber (CIA) and Glen Garber execute and review your close personally every single month.
Dual-Lock-In Operating System
One partner locks down audit integrity; the other unlocks commercial growth. Leigh Ann ensures every line item is audit-ready, safe harbors are captured, and suspense accounts are zeroed. Glen translates the numbers into 13-week cash runway models and banker-ready loan dossiers.
Privacy-First Architecture
Financial data deserves banking-grade confidentiality. Our proprietary Local CIA PII Privacy Shield scrubs client names, EINs, and bank accounts in the browser before any AI analysis takes place—guaranteeing zero sensitive data ever leaks to third-party models.
