Financial Advisory
Matheson Financial Advisors provides a wide range of financial advisory services including business valuations, ownership and succession planning, managing mergers & acquisitions, and other advisory services. Focused primarily on middle-market firms with revenue between $5 million and $500 million, we help clients solve challenges and develop solutions.

Our services are geared to enhance shareholder value in our client companies. We help clients understand the alternatives in building value in their companies and we work together to develop strategies that will support long-term value enhancement based on a thorough analysis of the client company's fundamentals. In an inherently transaction-focused business, we differentiate ourselves by bringing a longer relationship focus to the engagement.

"Our services are geared to enhance shareholder value in our client companies."
Selecting the appropriate exit strategy or ownership expansion program and setting the course to a successful transaction requires broad, cross-disciplinary experience in accounting, finance, strategy consulting, organizational behavior, investment theory, and even retirement planning, combined with insight into industry trends and hands-on experience with various buy-out and acquisition structures. Our team has the experience and track record working with closely-held companies to navigate the process. We offer the technical expertise of larger investment banks combined with the personal service and relationship orientation of a smaller boutique advisory firm.

At Matheson Financial Advisors, we are committed to producing a high standard of work product as well as providing independent, impartial, and objective advice to our clients.
