About Grace Matthews

Grace Matthews, Inc. is a middle-market consulting firm founded on merger and acquisition issues based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  In any particular assignment, our guiding principal is to help our client unlock the value of their business and assist them in achieving other personal and business goals.

In about half of our engagements, we are retained by the shareholders of a privately-held company, an entrepreneur, private equity fund, or large company to help them understand the issues involved in mergers and acquisitions, and to consult with them on the successful execution of an agreed to plan.

Another 25% of our assignments involve acquisition searches for buy-side clients that are pursuing growth through acquisitions. A typical client is either a large company that has targeted a specific market for growth, or a small or medium-sized business that has identified a specific company for acquisition and seeks guidance on how that company fits with the acquisition goals that we have worked to define with our client.

The remaining part of our practice consists of corporate finance projects such as management buyouts, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, and sale-leasebacks.  In these engagements, we work with management and owners to develop and understand the risk profile and prospective cash flows of a business, and then to advise our client on how best to achieve his or her goals.
