The Firm assisted Market Scan in all facets of the transaction by providing investment banking services and introducing financial due diligence services and a quality of earnings analysis delivered by KPMG LLP.

“Being a 35 year old privately held technology company, we have been approached hundreds of times by various M&A firms. When we finally decided to explore selling our company, we did a “bake-off” amongst several of the most respected investment banking firms in the world. From our very first meeting, it was clear KPMG was the perfect fit for us. Their team was unbelievable!!! Absolute professionalism, drive, talent and passion is what we experienced with every member of their team. This process is not for the faint of heart; that said, with KPMG Corporate Finance by our side we obtained a result that checked every box. They exceeded our expectations every step of the way!!!”

– Rusty West, Founder & CEO, Market Scan
