Tquila Automation

Tquila earns fees through three lines: advisory and automation strategy engagements, fixed-price and time-and-materials implementation projects, and recurring managed-service contracts for ongoing bot monitoring and maintenance. The managed-services book provides a recurring revenue base that most competitors, particularly smaller regional shops, do not maintain. Revenue is concentrated in UiPath, Microsoft Power Platform, and Blue Prism ecosystems.

Bradley Jones, as Executive Chairman, and James Laporte, as Managing Partner, jointly govern the M&A agenda. In January 2024, the firm closed an additional growth round with FTV Capital, a deal that carried implied governance around acquisition pipeline review. Day-to-day valuation work is handled internally with deal-sourced diligence support from external advisory firms, per the firm's communications.

Tquila's moat sits in its vendor-side depth — elite partner status across four major automation platforms paired with a multi-shore delivery model that smaller regional partners cannot replicate at margin. Add the post-acquisition integration playbook developed across the TechVantage, Element Blue, and Symphony Ventures acquisitions, and the firm now has a proprietary blueprint for absorbing automation boutiques at speed. That repeatability is the structural edge in a market where most competitors stall at the first integration.

By 2024, the firm had scaled to 220 professionals across offices in New York, Austin, Birmingham (UK), Cluj-Napoca, and Bucharest. The Romania footprint functions as a combined delivery center and automation R&D lab, carving a cost structure that differentiates Tquila from London- and New York-only consultancies. That multi-shore model was built through acquisitions of TechVantage and organic hiring.
