There is still time to registered for FP Transitions first webinar of 2024! What I love about this M&A webinar is: - It is NOT like the M&A session at conferences where the serial buyers tell you how great they are and why you can't possibly be a buyer too and you should just sell to them. - It is NOT the same old, boring stats that everyone is rushing to publish in Q1 about how many deals were done last year even though no one's data matches up with anyone else's. - What it IS about is - if you are actually going to make a deal happen, how do you do pull it off!?!

I ask our outstanding panel, if huge custodians and B/Ds can't pull off a merger without issues, how can an independent advisory firm do it?
