About us

Your Trusted Partner in
Business Transitions

We are a leading advisory firm that specializes in providing customized, practical corporate finance advice tailored specifically to the unique needs of mid-market private and family-owned businesses.

We were founded on the principle of putting our clients' needs first - always. We created a firm that's completely focused on the specific transaction needs of our clients - free from the pressure to sell other services or to promote external advisors for the sake of referral scores. This independence allows us to be selective in our client relationships while providing exceptional, timely, thoughtful, and candid advice. Our success is measured by our client's achievements, not billable hours, ensuring our interests are perfectly aligned throughout every engagement.

Successful Transfer of the Family Business

What could be easier than transferring your family business to its natural successor: your heirs apparent, your offspring? If some of your first guesses were peace in the Middle East, increasing honesty in politics, or convincing a teenager that he or she might be wrong about something, you have probably witnessed your share of family-business transfer disasters.

Know More

"Having worked with several international advisory firms and being an entrepreneur myself, I had this idea for a firm that really stands out in the M&A advisory world. That's why I started Transition Advisory Partners with one clear goal - to help our clients succeed. We're a team of diverse experts who share my passion for always putting clients first. At TAP, we believe that when our clients thrive, we thrive, creating a relationship built on trust, transparency, and mutual success."
