About Brent McDade

I\'ve been working in positions related to business valuation and mergers & acquisitions since 1994. I enjoy my job because I get to work with entrepreneurs in all stages of the life cycle of their business, and I get to see how the products and services that we rely on every day are made, delivered, or provided. I\'ve worked with businesses ranging from actuaries to a private zoo, with lots of interesting projects in between.In 2009, we started Decosimo Corporate Finance, LLC, a broker/dealer that provides sell side advisory services, arranges debt and equity financing, and provides independent fairness opinions on transactions.Specialties: Business Valuation, Litigation Support, and Transaction Advisory Services
