New York, NY and Toronto, ON, March 26, 2026 – Sapling Financial Consultants, a Toronto-based boutique financial consulting firm specializing in serving mid-market private equity firms, their portfolio companies, boutique investment banks and entrepreneurs, today announced the expansion of its U.S. presence into New York. Driving this growth is the appointment of Billy Snider, MBA, as Head of New York Partnerships. A sales and business development leader with more than 20 years of experience across Fortune 100 and high-growth environments, Snider brings a relationship-first approach and deep knowledge of the financial services landscape to the role.

New York represents one of the world’s most active markets for private equity, M&A and mid-market financial activity — a natural fit for Sapling’s core offerings in financial modelling, due diligence and data analytics. With over 75% of Sapling’s clients based in the United States, the expansion reflects the firm’s commitment to building deeper, long-term relationships in the markets where its clients operate.

“Atlanta showed us what’s possible when we put boots on the ground in a market where our clients operate, and New York is the logical next step,” said Rob Hong, co-founder and CEO of Sapling Financial Consultants. “The demand for high-quality, tailored financial consulting in the mid-market continues to grow, and with Billy leading our business development efforts in New York, we’re well-positioned to serve that demand.”

With offices in Toronto, Atlanta and now New York, Sapling Financial Consultants continues to expand its North American footprint, helping private equity firms, founders and executive teams make better financial decisions.
