What our clients say

“Matt Jamison and his team were extremely valuable partners to Greg and myself throughout this process. Our expectations were far exceeded, and we could not be more pleased with the professionalism and commitment. I would highly recommend them to any company considering a potential recapitalization.”

Charlie Hess, CEO and Co-founder of FISHER/UNITECH on the recapitalization with The Riverside Company
“We are very pleased with CFI’s representation of Login Group through every step of the sale process. They helped us prepare for and execute a process that led to a successful transaction with the listed global group Orange. They are clearly experts in the international ICT sector”.

Eric-Jan van Leeuwen, CEO at founder of Login Consultants on its sale to Orange
“Their focus on serving the owners’ and managements’ best interests was evident from day one, and I would highly recommend CFI to any private equity investor contemplating a transaction in the Software & IT Services sector, just like CFI was warmly recommended to us by another European private equity group”.

Mr Dreyer, Owner of Dreyer Ventures & Management
