What Our Clients (and their Counterparties) Say
Michael Kane has the most experience of anyone you'll likely meet in making successful deals -- an astounding range of business types, business conditions, and buyers. He knows what's possible, and what is a waste of time.
2021 - Grant Langston
CEO of eHarmony (former)
now CEO and Board Member of Warehouse Exchange
Kane teaches an M&A Master Class to everyone involved, if you’re interested in learning (and if you’re not, that’s your loss). He brings a unique blend of experience, process, discipline, creativity and intelligence that you're just not going to get from anybody else.
2021 - Dan Erickson
CEO of Elevated Careers
Mike is like 4 or 5 board members in one person. Finance? Yep. Ops? Yep. Strategy? Yep. He’s seen it all, but if you can come up with something he hasn’t seen before, he can figure it out quickly. Responsive. Responsible. Solution-oriented, positive, and calm in every situation.
Mike knows what boards/owners need from management and can lead management teams in that direction. Mike can find and extract value. His personal style and depth of experience allow him to be an accepted partner for management teams.
2021 - Andy LAATS
Chairman, Nixon, Inc.
While it was always clear that Kane represented the target of our acquisition, Becker CPA Review, I am pleased to endorse Kane's professionalism, integrity and helpfulness for getting our deal done. We appreciate his role in bringing the two companies together.
1997 - Dennis Keller
Chairman and CEO of DeVry, Inc. (former)
