Guidehouse


Guidehouse, Inc. is a global professional services firm delivering advisory, technology, and managed services to the commercial and government sectors. It is the successor to PwC’s public sector business and it was acquired in 2018 by Veritas. The head office is in Tysons, Virginia.
In December 2023, Guidehouse was acquired by Bain Capital.

History

Guidehouse began as PwC's U.S. public sector business. New York private equity firm Veritas Capital acquired the company in 2018. It retained leadership, including Chief Executive Officer Scott McIntyre. Deborah Ricci was appointed as its CFO.
After the acquisition, it then operated as the independent company "Guidehouse". Bloomberg reported that Guidehouse had an estimated valuation of approximately $7 billion in 2023.
The company acquired and combined with Navigant Consulting Inc in August 2019 for $1.1 billion. A year after purchasing Dovel Technologies, it acquired Grant Thornton LLP’s public sector advisory practice in 2022.
In November 2023, Bain Capital agreed to acquire Guidehouse for $5 billion. The purchase was completed the following month.

Navigant Consulting

Navigant Consulting was founded in 1983 by Richard Metzler as The Metzler Group Inc., providing management consulting to energy and other regulated industries. It was listed on NASDAQ in October 1996 under the ticker symbol METZ. In July 1999, the company was renamed Navigant Consulting, Inc., and its stock was subsequently listed on the New York Stock Exchange. William M. Goodyear became chairman and CEO in 2000.
In 2005, the company faced allegations of overcharging Los Angeles County for work at Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital. County auditors rejected more than $206,000 in expenses, citing unauthorized first-class flights and uncompleted project goals. The hospital later failed to meet federal Medicare standards in 2006, prompting a major restructuring plan.
Julie Howard succeeded Goodyear as CEO in 2012. In April 2018, Navigant partnered with Baptist Health South Florida to form a joint venture for healthcare revenue cycle management. In August 2018, the company sold its disputes and investigations division to Ankura Consulting.
