I really appreciate all the guidance Brad Harries and Doug Schmidt provided throughout Kaizen's M&A process. At the outset I had no idea of how many twists and turns there would be. Having Chessiecap shepherd and advise us in being acquired was essential to reaching a positive outcome.

It was tremendously reassuring to have Chessiecap's advice and guidance as we navigated the acquisition process. Knowing Brad and Doug have been through this enough times to know the patterns and pitfalls gave us the confidence and calibration to get through, as they said, 'all the friction' (one of the most polite euphemisms I've ever heard!) and to a satisfactory conclusion.
