- JOAN RYAN, CEO OF IPEC COACHING

“In 2020, I made the decision to sell my 37-year-old business. Having heard nightmarish stories, I went into the process with concern and caution. After interviewing four M&A teams, I was blown away by BDO’s enthusiasm, expertise, and command of the process. I signed with BDO in June of 2020 and told them I wanted to close by the end of the year. Not only did they successfully negotiate and close the deal before 2021, they also provided a seamless transaction from start to finish.”
