Michael was invaluable to our family office as we were in the process of evaluating and preparing one of our holdings for potential M&A. He and his team of advisors provided the niche expertise we needed including: outlining the process, creating marketing materials, providing market value resources and other tools to get our team up to speed. They were able to quickly prepare valuations and research on our private companies so that we could quickly and successfully
achieve our goals.
