About Us

 

We are an independent middle market investment banking firm with 230+ completed transactions totaling $4.5 billion in value. Founded in 1986, our firm is led by a team of former operators who deliver seasoned, trusted expertise.

By 2035, about six million small and medium-size businesses in the U.S. will prepare for an ownership transition, according to a report by McKinsey. As former operators that have built and sold companies, we are equipped to give each of our clients their ideal outcome.

Trusted Partners

Our legacy is entirely built upon the success of our clients. They come to us for an understanding of their industry and market trends, but stay for who we are, a strong group of committed colleagues with deep connections and operating experience. A hallmark of how we work is our integrity and trust toward each other. We bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and buyers to reach positive outcomes that prioritize culture and structure in addition to purchase price.
