The CFA Advantage

We have a Global Footprint
 With offices on both sides of the Atlantic and an ever expanding sphere of influence, CFA's footprint broadens our client's market opportunity. CFA has spent the past 50 years establishing its name and reputation across the globe to position itself to offer the best representation for companies seeking to maximize their M&A objectives. CFA's team can help you achieve the success you desire.

We are Independent
You've worked hard to build your company and want to obtain the best price possible for its sale or maybe you are still building your company and want the most attractive capital available. We believe you should have the ability to obtain the best pricing and terms possible. Some investment banking firms conduct investment and/or lending activities directly or through affiliates: CFA does not. CFA is unbiased in its advice to its clients.

We are not tied to any particular financial institution or investment arm, so we are able to evaluate and advise between all options with a sole allegiance to your company. We will strive to provide you with the optimal solution to your financial goal.

We are Respected in the Buyer Community
 With the increasing prevalence of auctions in the marketplace, buyers value CFA's demonstrated ability to work on their behalf to identify acquisition targets that have not entered the market. Our buy-side representation enables us to frequently identify and close transactions under  terms that can significantly augment a buyer's investment rate of return. Whether you are a first time business buyer, or a seasoned acquirer, you owe it to yourself to see how CFA can be your best answer to the complexities of business acquisition transactions.

We have Extensive Industry Experience
CFA principals bring with them a wealth of financial experience from decades in senior roles at blue chip companies as well as leading professional and technology firms. By the time associates join CFA, they have enjoyed considerable personal success in the business world.

Sellers are assured that they are maximizing their potential because they are helped every step of the way by our senior advisors. We help sellers plan their exit strategy, position their company for sale, value their company, prepare compelling marketing documents, canvas the widest array of qualified buyers, filter prospective buyers down to those best suited, recommend strategies to achieve the best offer, navigate through the hurdles of due diligence to close their deal while insulating them from the perils of personal confrontation with hard nose buyers.

CFA partners have the experience to offer your company the level of service and knowledge only real world accomplishments can bring.

Principals are Active in all Phases of the Assignment
A competent investment banker needs experience in valuation, accounting, salesmanship, and patience. In short, a good investment banker has been around the business block before entering the profession. CFA has aggressively built its investment banking business for the past 50 years by attracting only accomplished business professionals with outstanding track records.

It takes time and experience to be able to understand the nuances of business, and senior deal makers in CFA have exactly that. With CFA, the client works with CFA leadership, not staff, which ensures that they do not have a succession of people who handle their account. That means you get the best representation and the most experienced principals throughout your entire process.

We have a Distinguished Track Record for Success
CFA's track record shows we are committed to our job. We have been helping companies buy, sell, and obtain financing for their businesses for 50 years, and have thousands of satisfied clients. We are committed to offering our clients the highest possible levels of service. The organization was built on guiding middle-market companies through a vast array of transaction hurdles and opportunities. Our talented pool of experienced investment bankers, all of whom are dedicated to your company's success, promote innovative solutions, identify new opportunities, and devise specific plans to get you where you want to be.
