Columbus, OH

Our securities licensed and registered professional M&A advisors bring valuable prior entrepreneurial and corporate experience to their current roles as investment bankers. As such, they add to client engagements critical value derived from their unique perspective gained from having served on both sides of transactions.

Our commitment to remaining independent from any investment, accounting, legal, or lending affiliates ensures that we deliver unbiased guidance. We represent only one side, your side. And we conduct our engagements in full compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by operating in the context of our own Registered Broker-Dealer, Corporate Finance Securities, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC. This protects our clients from the threat of deal rescission post-close and the potential legal liabilities associated therewith.
