CFA Expands North American Operations – Newest Location Marks Third New Office This Year

Corporate Finance Associates (CFA) a leading middle-market mergers and acquisitions firm, announced it has begun operations in Nashville, Tennessee and two other locations. “Opening three new offices this year builds on our tradition of serving private business owners at the local level,” said Corporate Finance Associates CEO, Peter Heydenrych. “Our growth is fueled by the strength of our brand, start-to-finish advisory services from hands-on senior principals and the benefits a business seller experiences from a firm that not only has a large footprint, but is an expert at finding the right buyer for privately held companies.

The newest office, led by Greg A. McKinley, is located in Nashville, Tennessee. Prior to opening the Nashville office, Greg was a member of the CFA office in Omaha, Nebraska. With over twelve years of experience in the field of Mergers & Acquisitions, Mr. McKinley is able to draw on his multi-industry background and personal experience to assist business owners in financing growth, selling a business or implementing an acquisition strategy.

Earlier this year new offices were opened in Boise, Idaho and Memphis, Tennessee. The Boise office is led by Bruce M. Perry. Bruce brings over twenty-five years of experience as a CPA, business attorney and investment banker. He has represented clients in virtually every phase of forming private companies as well as negotiating and structuring business transactions in a wide variety of industries. The principle of the Memphis office is Gerald W. Lindsay. Gerald’s background includes over 33 years of experience in raising corporate capital, structuring and negotiating M&A transactions and corporate consulting.
