“Having recently recapitalized with a new private equity sponsor, we needed a flexible resource to coordinate our acquisition pipeline, deal assessment, target valuation, and due diligence processes. Justin’s Bushido Strategic Advisory was able to hit the ground running and provide immediate value and “lift” to our senior management team.”

Nate Hunter, CFO, K2 Insurance Services

“The advice and guidance Bushido Strategic Advisory has provided as we’ve embarked on new strategies to accelerate our growth has been invaluable; we truly consider Justin an integral part of our team.”

Wade Bushman, CEO, Young & Associates

“Justin was engaged at a critical time for our firm, just as we engaged an advisor to help us position the company for sale. He owned two key roles – the day-to-day oversight of our financial health + the arduous task of developing all sorts of reporting for due diligence / pre-sale purposes. Justin’s experience with M&A proved invaluable, making an otherwise usually difficult road to closing the sale extremely uneventful. We achieved our goals and objectives as a direct result of Justin’s efforts.“

David Lewis, CEO, OperationsInc.

“Justin is exactly the type of CFO you want — completely reliable on the accounting and a strong manager of data inputs and processes including audits and monthly rollups, and he’s great at imagining, designing and delivering data analytics that help us to think through strategy. He knows insurance services from all angles as well as anyone.  He’s a true partner in the growth and development of our business.”

Doug Polley, Chairman, Union Bay Risk Advisors

“We engaged with Justin on two separate occasions. The first time he assisted us in analyzing the benefits of changing how we recognize revenue and then assisting our accounting team in properly restating our financial statements and the related communication with our outside auditors. His work was excellent but more importantly his collaborative and easygoing style allowed him to quickly gain the confidence of our accounting team. The second time we retained him was to assist us in preparing for a capital raising process. He was invaluable. He guided us through a high stress experience and provided insights that enabled us to navigate the process effectively. We look forward to using him in the future for more projects.”

Brian Cohen, CEO, Arden Insurance Services

“Justin Faust and Bushido Strategic Advisory has been an integral part of our team since the very beginning of our founding. Justin's expertise has been instrumental in building out our internal finance and accounting systems, ensuring compliance, and providing invaluable strategic advice to fuel our growth. Justin is a critical partner in our operations, and we truly cannot imagine continuing our journey without his guidance and support. His contributions have been key to our success, and we look forward to many more years of collaboration.”

Chad Hollingsworth, President & Co-Founder, Insight Risk

“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. ”

Sam Gaynor, Managing Director, Altamont Capital Partners

“Justin at Bushido Strategic Advisory provided invaluable advice and guidance, helping us identify the critical metrics and targets for our organization's success. His flexible and responsive style, combined with his M&A experience, made managing the financial aspects of the due diligence process crucial during our recent merger.”
