From the first phone call and through every challenging or celebratory milestone in our deal, Kirk’s steady guidance and practical insight allowed me to focus on what mattered most and keep our larger goals in focus.

What we Do
-
Maybe you're ready to go to market, but aren't sure who to call first? Or next?
-
You want to transition or sell your company within the next 2-3 years and would like to make sure that you reach the finish line with maximized sales price, deal terms, and legacy. Or more typically, a combination of those things. We're experts at working backward from that finish line to make the most of that eventual outcome.
-
Need help sorting some things out? Suffering from misaligned shareholder interests or have the wrong financial partners? Or maybe you just need more or better capital sources?
-
Want to maximize your proceeds from a sale in a few years? Maybe you have received an unsolicited offer to buy your business and you are not sure how to respond? Or are you curious about the valuation of your company?
