We’ll spearhead the launch of your start-up's financial operations

Financial insight and analysis
spearhead the launch of your financial operations

We’ll drive growth by supporting inorganic strategies and enhancing financial processes

While organic growth is critical to a business' success, M&A can accelerate your expansion.  Let Bushido drive the process of assessing and executing transactions that can supplement your strategy.  We can also manage your existing finance & accounting resources on a fractional / outsourced basis as you continue to scale.

Maximize stakeholder value

When it's time to exit, we'll help you maximize stakeholder value 

As you reach critical mass, the time may come to review alternatives to realize the value you've built in your company.  Our varied experiences as buyer, seller and advisor to insurance and financial services companies going through this process allow us to provide unique insight and guidance through a sale or recapitalization of your business.

Devotion and Expertise

Partnership and trust are the fundamentals of all our valued client relationships. Our work is diligently executed with reliability and expertise built on over 20 years of industry experience.

OUR COMMITMENT

“Justin did an amazing job on a recent engagement and was a tremendous asset to our portfolio company, both financially and strategically, in its formative early days. Justin is definitely much more than a CFO, has tremendous knowledge across the insurance value chain, and I would highly recommend him. ”
