How she approaches her work
“As part of a client service team, I work closely with my clients, their advisors, and members of the Michael Silver Service team to develop reasonable and defensible conclusions of value and recommendations for structuring as it relates to complex planning, sale, and/or litigation. Most of my clients are in the lower middle market, generally with revenues in the $10M to $250M range. Most are first and second generation businesses that are considering business succession alternatives involving, gifting, and sale. All are closely held business who may or may not have put a price tag on their business before, probably have grown their businesses organically and not through acquisition, and/or may have received an unsolicited offer or are contemplating the sale of their business to a financial or strategic acquirer. Our work is important. The price tag we put on the business is based on our analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data that measures our clients’ financial, competitive, operational, and managerial attributes. Our job is to provide our client with the tools to make rational strategic decisions for their continuity and/or business succession. It is a collaborative process between the client and his/her advisors and it is a privilege to be a part of this process.”
