"We spent six months choosing an M&A advisor, and I can say now that engaging BCMS was the best decision we could have made. From the outset, Jim Whitaker and the BCMS team really listened to us, making the effort to understand our business and our expectations. As our lead advisor, Jim was always there with advice and support – including many late-night calls – giving us the confidence we needed throughout."
