About
Altura Private Finance offers expert advisory and debt placement for private businesses, entrepreneurs, and family offices.
How We Work
01. Approach
Altura Private Finance approaches capital advisory with the perspective of a private bank and the independence of an entrepreneurial firm. The focus is not on transactions, but on judgment — helping clients make informed financing decisions within the broader context of their objectives, timing, and risk tolerance. Each engagement is shaped by the understanding that capital decisions carry long-term implications beyond the terms of any single facility.
02. Discretion
Clients engage Altura in situations where confidentiality and discretion are essential. Discussions are conducted privately, and information is shared selectively and thoughtfully throughout the advisory process. The firm approaches each engagement with the same level of care expected within a private-bank environment, recognizing that many decisions involve sensitive personal, business, or financial considerations.
03. Independence
Altura operates independently of balance-sheet constraints, product mandates, and lender affiliations. This independence allows financing options to be evaluated objectively, with advice driven solely by client considerations rather than institutional incentives. The firm’s role is to help clients understand the full landscape of available capital and select structures that align with their priorities.
04. Long-Term Perspective
Altura views capital advisory as an ongoing relationship rather than a transactional event. Clients often face evolving circumstances across market cycles, business stages, and liquidity events. By maintaining continuity and institutional memory, the firm is able to provide perspective that supports consistent decision-making over time, rather than reacting to isolated opportunities.
Who We Serve
Altura Private Finance works with clients facing complex financial and capital decisions where discretion, judgment, and context matter. Engagements are often initiated at moments of transition—growth, liquidity events, or evolving balance-sheet considerations—when thoughtful advisory support is most valuable.
Business Owners
Altura advises owners of closely held and privately operated businesses navigating growth, acquisitions, recapitalizations, or liquidity planning. These clients often require financing solutions that reflect operating realities, ownership objectives, and long-term business strategy rather than standardized lending criteria.
Executives & Principals
Senior executives and principals engage Altura when personal balance sheets intersect with professional complexity. Advisory support may involve liquidity planning, financing against concentrated positions, or structuring solutions aligned with compensation, equity ownership, and longer-term financial goals.
Family Offices
Altura works with family offices and high-net-worth families managing diverse assets, intergenerational considerations, and evolving capital needs. Engagements emphasize discretion, coordination with existing advisors, and alignment across liquidity, financing, and long-term stewardship objectives.
Our Founder
Altura Private Finance was founded by Brandon Childs to provide independent capital advisory grounded in institutional experience and long-term perspective. The firm was established to serve clients seeking thoughtful guidance across complex financing decisions, without the constraints of balance-sheet mandates or product-driven incentives.
Brandon brings more than two decades of experience in private banking, credit structuring, and advisory roles, working closely with business owners, executives, and high-net-worth families. His background spans traditional banking environments and bespoke advisory engagements, providing a practical understanding of how capital decisions intersect with broader financial, operational, and personal considerations.
Throughout his career, Brandon has focused on helping clients navigate moments of transition—growth, liquidity events, ownership changes, and evolving balance-sheet needs—where clarity and judgment are essential. His approach emphasizes discretion, disciplined analysis, and alignment with long-term objectives rather than transactional outcomes.
Altura reflects this philosophy. The firm operates with the standards of a private bank and the flexibility of an independent advisor, allowing each engagement to be shaped by client priorities rather than institutional limitations.
