As succession planners, we partner with the owners of mid to large-size privately held businesses, ensuring the business’ long-term growth & sustainability. We take the time to understand all stakeholders’ visions, create alignment & through considering the possible, probable, & potential issues that can get in the way; develop strategies to get owners to where they want to go.

For 50 years, we have provided guidance & support when business owners face family-business turmoil, lack leadership bench strength, interpersonal or behavioral challenges, lack unity or a strategy for the future, or are unable to identify a successor leader. We believe there is no business gain worth a family loss. Our depth of experience walking in our clients’ shoes allows us to understand how to approach demanding situations with balance in mind.

As a founding member of the International Succession Planning Association®, we are passionate about impacting lives & cultivating a business legacy.
