Our Business

 We deliver professional M&A and corporate finance advisory services to middle market businesses by continually improving our processes, growing our organization and serving the diverse needs of our clients. We remain focused by serving as our clients’ partner and guiding them through every challenge, advocating on their behalf, and leveraging our company’s wealth of experience and resources to see them through to a successful close. To ensure that we deliver unbiased guidance we are committed to remaining independent from any direct lending or investment capital affiliates. Selling, buying or financing a company is a complex process that requires thorough preparation, skillful negotiation, and intimate market knowledge. At CFA, our clients work throughout the engagement on a personal basis with a local senior principal, who can provide expert valuation, analysis, and deal-making skills, as well as preferred access to national and international buyers, sellers and financing.

Our investment banking professionals apply their expertise across many industry groups including Business Services, Energy, Engineering/Construction, Food/Beverage, Health/Personal Care, Manufacturing, Recreation/Hospitality, Technology, Transport/Logistics.
