Aligned Profit was founded in 2023 by Tyler Murdock — a transaction origination professional who built his practice inside real LMM M&A workflows before turning the methodology into a fractional service.
Tyler founded Aligned Profit after years of building outbound pipeline and sourcing infrastructure for healthcare-adjacent clients. Before Aligned Profit existed as a named firm, the methodology was already producing results inside real M&A workflows — mapping physician-owned practices, running owner engagement at scale, and moving transactions from first contact to LOI stage.
His buy-side work spans dental, specialty medical, outpatient, and trades/services sectors — executing mandates by screening practices on operatory count, revenue range, provider mix, payer exposure, and geographic clustering thesis. That operational specificity is now the foundation of how every Aligned Profit engagement is structured.
Tyler has trained M&A advisors nationally on structured off-market sourcing methodology — which means he understands how boutique advisory firms think about pipeline problems and what they actually need to solve them.
Van Buren Dental — Kettering, OH
Sourced and originated. Acquired by PE-backed Dental365, backed by The Jordan Company, Regal Healthcare Capital Partners, and The Cambria Group.
Three examples of real origination and transaction support work — not theoretical frameworks.
Originated and sourced. Acquired by Dental365 (PE-backed by The Jordan Company, Regal Healthcare Capital Partners, and The Cambria Group). Full origination cycle from first contact through LOI stage.

Supported a plastic surgery platform acquisition through LOI stage. Transaction currently under restructuring following executive leadership transition — highlighting the post-LOI complexities this work navigates directly.
The Aligned Profit methodology was refined over hundreds of real engagements — not built from a consulting framework. Buy-side mandates are executed by screening physician-owned and founder-led businesses against specific criteria: operatory count, revenue range, provider mix, payer exposure, and geographic clustering thesis.
Data gathered includes LTM revenue, estimated EBITDA, and add-backs — reviewed with advisor partners to assess mandate fit before an LOI is issued. This is not marketing language; it is the actual operating workflow of the service.
Before Aligned Profit, this methodology was built at Reach Clients (2020–2023), where Tyler developed systematic pipeline infrastructure and origination processes before transitioning into direct deal sourcing and acquisition pipeline development for Lower Middle Market M&A advisors.
Practices screened on operatory count, revenue, provider mix, payer exposure, and geographic clustering — not generic company lists.
LTM revenue, estimated EBITDA, and add-backs gathered and reviewed with advisor partners before LOI — not after.
Seller financial package collection, redline review coordination with legal counsel, and transaction liaison work through LOI stage.
20+ deals advanced to LOI stage across dental, specialty medical, outpatient, and trades/services sectors. $130M+ in aggregate deal value. 2,500+ owner engagements across founder-led businesses in the lower middle market.
Designed multi-touch workflow systems improving pipeline visibility, sequencing, and revenue tracking for clients. Transitioned into contract deal sourcing and acquisition pipeline development for M&A advisors — forming the foundation for Aligned Profit.
