If we both agree there’s a potential fit, the rest of the call will focus on you: your business, your challenges, and what you want from an exit.
Finally, we’ll share more about how our firm helps owners like you—and answer any questions you have.
After our Discovery Meeting, we’ll schedule a dedicated call with our M&A team. On this call, they’ll learn more about your business, your exit timeline, and your goals. Together, you’ll explore how to maximize business value and design a strategy that’s right for you.
During this meeting, we will deliver the results of your Business Exit Valuation Assessment.
Our analysis will show you exactly what you can do to improve your retirement plan, lower taxes, and optimize your investments.

If you decide we’re not the right fit, that’s perfectly fine—we’ll even point you toward another professional who can help. There’s never any hard sell or pressure to move forward.

There are three key differences that set us apart:
Specialized in Business Exits – We don’t try to be everything to everyone. Our focus is on helping business owners prepare for and maximize the value of their exit.
Tax + Value Expertise – Most M&A firms focus only on the deal. We integrate exit planning, tax strategy, and investment management so you walk away with more after the sale.
Team-Based Approach – Instead of working with one person, you get our entire advisory + M&A team behind you. That means broader expertise, better coverage, and no details overlooked.
Other firms may provide valuations or basic investment advice—but few combine M&A expertise, tax efficiency, and wealth management under one roof. That’s why we offer a Free Business Exit Valuation Assessment™—so you can see firsthand if our expertise matches your goals.

It only makes sense to hire an advisor (or any professional) if the value they provide exceeds the cost.
In other words, the time and stress saved by having an experienced M&A + wealth team—combined with the tax savings and deal improvements—should more than offset the fees being charged.
Our Free Business Exit Valuation Assessment™ will quantify the benefits you may receive so you can make an informed decision about hiring our firm.
Our transparent fee covers ongoing tax-aware financial planning, investment management, and coordination with our M&A team.
The blended advisory fee is based on the value of the assets we oversee and manage:
1.00% on the first $1,000,000
0.90% on amounts between $1M and $2M
0.75% on amounts between $2M and $5M
0.50% on amounts over $5M
This is our only form of compensation—we never take commissions, kickbacks, or hidden revenue sources.
Scheduling a Discovery Meeting with us is the first step to see if we are the right fit to help maximize your exit and manage your wealth after the sale.
We do our best work with business owners who want a comprehensive, long-term relationship—not just a quick project. Exit planning isn’t a one-time exercise; it’s an ongoing process that involves valuation, deal prep, tax strategy, and post-sale wealth management.
Because of that, our firm does not offer an hourly or one-time project fee option. Instead, we structure our fees as a transparent percentage of the assets we manage once your sale is complete, so our success is fully aligned with yours.
If you’re simply looking for a one-off valuation or a transactional project, there are firms that can provide that. But if you want a team dedicated to maximizing your exit value and guiding you through the entire transition, we may be the right fit.
