Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of advisory support does CJG Partners provide?

Our advisory services go beyond traditional accounting to help you solve real business challenges and seize growth opportunities.

We translate complex financial concepts into plain English and help you see how individual decisions fit into your bigger business picture, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

How can a business valuation help my company?

Business valuations serve multiple strategic purposes beyond just determining what your company is worth. They’re essential for estate planning and gifting strategies, buy-sell agreements among partners, securing financing, attracting investors, and planning your exit strategy. A professional valuation also helps you understand what drives your business value, so you can make strategic decisions that increase it over time. Our Certified Valuation Analysts (CVAs) provide credible, defensible valuations that stand up to IRS scrutiny and give you clarity about your most valuable asset.

What should I look for in an M&A advisor?

Mergers and acquisitions involve complex financial, tax, and legal considerations that can significantly impact the outcome of your deal. Look for an advisor with deep transactional experience who can explain the financial and tax implications of different deal structures clearly and simply. At CJG Partners, our team has completed 200+ M&A deals totaling over $2 billion. We help you structure transactions in the most favorable terms, identify potential issues before they become problems, and ensure you understand exactly what you’re getting into—so you can negotiate from a position of strength and confidence.
