Announces New Boston Office

Los Angeles, California – October 29, 2007 – Corporate Finance Associates (CFA) a leading middle-market mergers and acquisitions firm, announced it has begun operations in Boston, Massachusetts.

“Adding the Boston office is one more example of how CFA is focused on serving private business owners at the local level,” said Corporate Finance Associates CEO, Peter Heydenrych. “Situated between our metro New York and Portland, Maine offices, the Boston office is ideally positioned to help regional business owners leverage CFA’s extensive resources, as well as its expertise at finding the right buyer for privately held companies.”

The newest CFA office, led by Brace F. Carpenter and Thomas J. Hawke, is located at 106 Fulton Street, in Boston. Brace and Tom draw upon more than twenty-five years of experience representing business owners of middle-market companies. Their focus has been on services related to the divestiture, merger, acquisition or valuation of privately held companies. They have hands-on experience representing sellers in the manufacturing, distribution, hi-tech, service, hospitality and funeral industries.
