About Legacy Bridge
We started Legacy Bridge to acquire and run high-quality businesses for the long term. Our focus is on companies with strong reputations, loyal customers, and committed staff. We’re especially interested in family- and founder-led businesses.
Our family’s business history goes back to 1936. Over four generations we’ve seen first-hand that running a good business comes down to keeping your word, working hard, and looking after your people and customers. Those simple values have guided our approach for nearly ninety years.
We aim to be steady, long-term owners who preserve what makes a business strong and support its next stage of growth. For sellers, that means more than just an exit. We recognise the sacrifice and commitment it takes to build something lasting. Our goal is to carry it forward into the future.
History
We are seeking established businesses in Southeast Queensland where the owner is nearing retirement and does not have a clear succession plan in place. Our ideal opportunity is a company with a track record of reliable operations, aligned values and an owner that is looking to transition the business to committed long-term operator.
Our Focus
Financials
We are interested in businesses with a proven history of profitability, generating consistent cash flows and healthy margins. Specifically, we target companies with EBITDA in the range of $300k to $900k and margins of 15% or higher.
Industries
We focus on B2B service sectors, including:
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) / IT services
Mission critical B2B services
Outsourced compliance and regulatory services
The Team
I first trained as a Chartered Accountant and began my career at Deloitte, working in forensics, audit, and operational consulting. This gave me valuable insight into how hundreds of businesses operate across a wide range of industries.
I then moved into financial services and technology, where I combined my finance background with IT leadership to help modernise payment operations at CBA. My proudest achievement was leading mission-critical payment systems, an experience that taught me how to run high-stakes operations where reliability and trust are essential.
Alongside my professional career, I have been involved in family businesses and ventures. This background has shaped my ambition to acquire and operate businesses for the long term.
Johnathan McDonogh
I have spent more than two decades leading companies and ventures in the financial services sector. In that time, I’ve focused on building strong client relationships, delivering tailored solutions, and growing the business on the foundations of trust and long-term partnerships.
Alongside this, I serve as CEO of Pro Mutuel, where I help guide and invest in new ventures connected to insurance and related services. Over the years, I’ve also started, funded, and supported the development of many businesses — something I’m deeply passionate about.
What has always mattered to me is building businesses that last: enterprises that look after their people, serve their customers well, and contribute positively to the community.
