Transaction to support continued growth of leading integrated utility management platform. Existing investor Advent International will retain significant minority interest in company; TA will fully exit stake.
TPG, a leading global alternative asset management firm, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in Conservice (the “Company”), a leading utility management platform for the property management industry. TPG will invest in Conservice through TPG Capital, the firm’s U.S. and European private equity platform, and will join leading global private equity investor Advent International, who will retain a significant stake after first investing in Conservice in 2020. In connection with the transaction, TA Associates (“TA”) will fully exit its stake in the business.
Conservice provides mission-critical, tech-enabled utility management tools to property managers throughout the U.S. Founded in 2000, the Company’s integrated solutions streamline metering, billing, payment, procurement, and analytics workflows across nearly 8 million units nationwide, playing a critical role in linking operators with more than 20,000 utility providers. Conservice’s customizable solutions and highly scalable platform enable effective and accurate utility management, supporting efforts to increase energy efficiency, enhance utility-related operations, and reduce costs.
“Conservice’s utility management offering integrates fragmented workflows to drive better, faster, and more accurate utility administration for residential and commercial property managers,” said Scott Hardy, Chief Executive Officer of Conservice. “With deep tech-enabled expertise, we are confident TPG is the right partner to support the continued growth of the Conservice platform.

We are confident that the Company is well-positioned to continue its expansion and offerings in a growing and increasingly critical industry.”
