Tara Soileau is a director in BRG’s Transaction Advisory practice, where she leads the firm’s Transaction Data & Analytics capability. A former chief financial officer (CFO) and controller, she brings a dual perspective as both finance operator and advisor. She has over seventeen years of experience spanning corporate financial leadership and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory.

Ms. Soileau specializes in data and analytics–enabled financial due diligence on both buy- and sell-side transactions and enhances traditional diligence approaches with deep, actionable insights derived from complex datasets.

Ms. Soileau has extensive experience across manufacturing, industrials, construction, technology, and other key industries. Her representative engagements include quantifying performance for a $1 billion spice and condiments manufacturer at granular customer, product, plant, and regional levels; advising a $500 million utilities subgrade infrastructure construction company in a sell-side process using a dynamic, contract-level data cube; identifying $36 million in cost-reduction opportunities for an auto service club; and modeling product-level pricing and margins for a thermoform plastics manufacturer, resulting in $40 million of incremental transaction value.
