Wednesday, May 27th, 2026
Centri Business Consulting, one of the industry’s fastest-growing and most respected accounting and advisory firms, has secured a $20 million credit facility from Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (Citizens), one of the nation's largest regional financial institutions with more than $227 billion in assets and deep roots in the Philadelphia market.
The facility is designed to power the next phase of Centri’s strategic growth plan, with a particular focus on acquisitions and talent investments at every level of the organization, including key leadership and partner hires, across each market in which the firm operates. This capital will also support the continued development of Centri’s service offerings, capabilities and geographic expansion.
“Partnering with Citizens on this facility is a reflection of where Centri stands today and the direction in which we're headed,” says Michael Aiello, CEO and Managing Partner of Centri. “It gives us the financial resources to keep building the way we always have, with intention and an unrelenting focus on quality. With this capital in place, we are better positioned than ever to bring the right people into the firm, pursue acquisitions that deepen our capabilities, and continue delivering at the highest level for our clients across the country and around the world.”
The relationship with Citizens reflects a recognition of Centri’s growing prominence within the broader capital markets ecosystem. Citizens, which operates across the country and serves clients ranging from middle-market companies to large corporations, brings a depth of commercial banking resources and reach that aligns directly with the scale of Centri’s ambitions today and in the future.
Stephan Parico, CFO and Partner at Centri, added, “Working with the Citizens team to get this deal across the finish line was collaborative and seamless through every stage of the process. They came in with a clear understanding of our vision and growth trajectory, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner on a transaction of this significance.”
Daniel Fitzpatrick, President of the Mid-Atlantic & Midwest Regions at Citizens, continued, “Centri has built something genuinely unique in the advisory space, and the firm's track record across capital markets and high-growth sectors speaks for itself. Citizens looks forward to a strong relationship as Centri's strategic and financial banking advisor.”
Since its founding in 2011, Centri has built a reputation as one of the fastest growing and most respected accounting advisory and business consulting firms in the country. The firm, headquartered in Philadelphia, has posted consistent and strong year-over-year growth, and has expanded its presence to include offices in New York City, Boston, Raleigh, Tysons Corner, Denver, Tampa, Atlanta, and Dallas, with the capacity to serve clients across the country.
