Of a Business.

About

A practice built on returning.

Sablecourt Group is an advisory firm working across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. Within Ellersby Trust, we take a limited number of engagements so partners stay on all of them from start to finish.

Our work is partner-led, conviction-weighted, and built around a small number of engagements at a time. We do not pursue volume. We pursue outcomes the principal can name three years later.

Client Base

Six client types. One standard.

We advise organizations carrying obligations to people who depend on them.

01

Family Enterprises

Owner-led businesses moving between generations.

02

Professional Partnerships

Firms with equity and leadership to transition.

03

Foundations & Endowments

Perpetual capital with mandates to outlast trustees.

04

Financial Services

Managers and advisers under continuous supervision.

05

Education & Institutions

Bodies accountable to members, donors and regulators.

06

Healthcare

Provider groups and professional practice structures.

Our Work

Four kinds of engagement.

Most of our work comes from clients we have advised before, which sets the standard for the first engagement.

01

Long-Range Planning

Multi-year planning that survives a bad quarter, owned internally and revised on a rhythm.

02

Governance & Boards

Committee structure, reporting and decision records, so a board can govern rather than be briefed.

03

Succession

Leadership and ownership transition, started early enough to be a choice.

04

Risk & Assurance

What the organization is genuinely exposed to, ranked by consequence rather than by ease of measurement.

Locations

Six offices. Continuous cover.

Six offices across three continents, so someone senior is always reachable.
