At Callafin Partners we support our operating partners with strength in financial management, operations excellence and business strategy. We are a boutique private equity firm based in Sydney, focused on Australian mid-market business with revenue typically between $10 million and $100 million. Our approach is anchored in a philosophy of partnership, where management, employees, and shareholders all meaningfully contribute to the success of the business.

​

Callafin Partners was founded by Paul Barton and Vivian Stewart to address the lack of capital options for mid-market businesses at key inflection points. These include situations where an owner is seeking a partial or full exit through a staged investment. Callafin Partners would typically purchase a meaningful stake and provide growth capital, business strategy, and the tools to drive operational excellence. We are industry agnostic and invest across a broad range of sectors that demonstrate attractive economics.

Callafin Partners plays a key role in driving the potential of our portfolio companies to accelerate and realise their growth potential. We identify great companies and enhance their performance by providing patient capital, strategic advice and operating support to management teams. Our approach helps portfolio companies build management teams, execute on identified growth opportunities, launch new products, expand into new markets, make accretive acquisitions and level up technologies and systems to improve operational effectiveness to achieve significant growth. We provide strategic guidance, financial management, decision-making support and resources to help management teams be successful.
