## The Firm

Trinity Hunt Partners is a Dallas growth-equity firm, based on McKinney Avenue, focused on building what it calls world-class companies in business and consumer services. Its self-presentation leads with people, investing in people to build market leaders, and with its repeated appearances on founder-friendly private equity lists.

Its registry presence is Springline Advisory, the accounting platform it launched around Kansas City's MarksNelson in early 2024 and has grown with tuck-ins across five states, GBC Advisory among the 2026 additions. That two-year arc, anchor firm to multi-state platform, is the standard playbook now running through the accounting profession's succession wave.

For an accounting searcher, Trinity Hunt is a mid-speed consolidator: faster than one-firm-at-a-time buyers, more selective than the thirteen-at-once platform formations. The interview-relevant facts are the Dallas base, the services-only focus, the people-first branding, and the Springline arc from anchor to platform.

Read again in September 2026: the accounting platform had taken eleven firms the registry lacked, nine of them accounting practices from Indianapolis to the Bay Area, and its two founding firms rebranded under its name in June 2026. The sponsor formed three more platforms since May in landscaping, industrial services and consulting, a count here and not rows.
