Our Difference

please download our one page summary.

Independence
We are an independent firm by choice because we know that competing interests within a firm can sometimes complicate the mission. Independence means the freedom to represent our clients’ best interests at all times. It means the ability to create the best transaction structure for each client, to provide totally unbiased advice and to execute the transaction solely to maximize value and achieve our clients’ goals.

Extensive Experience
Most of our transactions are highly complex, requiring not only industry knowledge, but a deep understanding of alternative structures, financing markets and tax implications that specifically relate to our clients. Matrix has the merger & acquisition expertise and knowledge to provide the best possible advice in complicated situations.

Senior Level Attention
We handle each transaction with a “hands-on” approach. Our deal teams are comprised of experienced investment bankers, including senior level Managing Directors, who, on a daily basis, stay involved with every aspect of the transaction. We are deeply committed to our clients and provide them with a confidential and intensive approach to detail and professionalism that reaches far beyond their expectations.

Proprietary Resources
Matrix maintains an in-house proprietary database of resources, including potential investors and capital providers that are focused on your specific type and size transaction. Our customized in-house database consists of more than 2,000 private equity groups, strategic acquirers, senior and mezzanine lenders, as well as other institutional investors. These valuable resources are the result of years of cultivating strong relationships and are a vital part of the process.

High Level of Confidentiality
Given that our roots hail from representation of private companies, we consider absolute confidentiality of paramount importance. We understand that our clients are extremely sensitive to rumors and potential dissemination of their corporate information getting out to the public, which can cause business disruption, turmoil among employees, or give competitors an edge. At Matrix we do not over expose your company. We take the time to research which parties would have a sincere interest in the opportunity and work with you as a team to compile a carefully selected target list of investors, lenders, or buyers.

National and Global Reach
We currently maintain close relationships with buyers, sellers and investors, as well as other transaction professionals throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia and South America. This allows us to tap into a vast pool of resources. We make these same resources available to our clients to provide unique opportunities on a local, regional, national and international basis.

We have banking professionals located throughout the U.S. in Richmond, VA, Baltimore, MD and New York, NY.

What our Clients Are saying

  • “The AWG brand is nationally recognized for excellent customer service, loyalty to employees, and above all else operating with integrity.  I can’t think of a better partner to help Bestway’s employees usher in this next phase of growth. The team at Matrix has been exceptional in every respect.  The level of service and support I received was incredible, and they were able to create immense value for my business during the transaction process.”

    Ernest “Cotton” Speed, III, President

  • “Matrix has done an outstanding job managing our transaction. Their process certainly identified the ideal partner to continue to grow Narcote’s market presence.”

    Cary Green, CEO
    Narcote, LLC
  • “The entire Matrix team worked diligently through all of the intricacies of this transaction to ensure its success. They provided our shareholders with an ideal exit plan while still maintaining the Company’s heritage. The acquisition by Hammond’s Candies complements our business, product offering and growth trajectory.”

    Bill Del Chiaro, CEO
    Old Dominion Peanut Company, Inc.
  • “Our Board of Directors, executive management team, and Schmuckal family members explored many options before selecting Matrix to run a structured process and guide us through the sale of the family business. While it is emotional and challenging to sell a business, we felt the time was right for the family to find another company with the culture of a “family owned and operated” business to take our operation into the future. Matrix provided a high-level of professionalism and ran a very productive process that helped us accomplish our goal. We thoroughly enjoyed working with the Matrix team, including Spencer Cavalier, Andrew LoPresti, and Martin McElroy, and are genuinely excited for our customers, employees, and shareholders to be selling our business to True North Energy.”

    Kevin Severt, CEO
    Schmuckal Oil Company
  • “Matrix, who has previously performed valuation work for the Company, did a splendid job offering a choice of four bank proposals.  RBS Citizens was chosen because of their cash management and industry expertise.”
