Buyer’s GuideHere is an overview of the process of buying a business, presented in concise summaries from our experts.
The chief financial officer (CFO) is often a very instrumental member of the sell-side team in any M&A deal, offering a level of foresight, insight, and overall financial expertise that bookkeepers and accountants cannot match. But what if you don’t have a CFO on board? If you’re considering selling your business within the next three to five years, who can you turn to to help you devise and implement a plan to raise your company’s value? Rob Taylor has some suggestions. Currently the CFO with Accuform Signs, Mr. Taylor joins Jeff Allen to share his past experience as a CFO who helped prepare sell-side companies for successful M&A transactions. Gain insight into selling your company from a CFO’s perspective on this edition of “Deal Talk.”
His finance career spans numerous industries that have grown organically and through acquisition, and includes time with a Big 4 accounting firm. At the core of his effectiveness in every role has been the ability to resolve issues before they become insurmountable problems, build teams that deliver corporate objectives, and to say no when necessary for the good of the organization.
As a member of various Senior Management Teams his role in strategic planning sessions has often been that of influencer. As the financial leader, he guided tough, data-based, decision-making to create a sound financial footing in order to avoid the consequences of potentially disastrous decisions based solely on desire.
The results of some of those tough decisions included:
He was nominated to sit on their banking partner’s client advisory panel for a 2-year term. This benefits Accuform and the bank by giving voice of the customer feedback to the bank, gaining first access to new products and systems, and making strategic senior-level connections. His input to this advisory panel was so highly valued that he was asked to extend my term for an additional year.
His experience conducting buy and sell-side transactions as a Senior Manager in the Transaction Advisory Services Practice at Ernst & Young, has given him a deep understanding of the acquisition process, how to maximize proceeds in creating exit strategies, and accurately evaluate a Target’s valuation. Personally, the biggest benefit is the ability to think and act quickly and effectively.
We invested over a decade perfecting every step of the process. The result is a method proven to reduce your risk and maximize your price.
