Jim and Avant® Advisory Group are of the highest caliber of professionals in the industry. Avant® Advisory Group was brought in for the Quality of Earnings investigation and reporting for our company’s sale. Avant® provided an interdisciplinary approach addressing both operational and financial areas that were extraordinary. Beyond his functional expertise which is impressive in its own right, it is Jim’s affable style that makes it so easy for him to probe and get to the root issues without undue drama or stress in the organization. Avant’s conclusions were straightforward, well presented, and actionable. I would highly recommend Jim and Avant for M&A support, forensic accounting, or any related restructuring work! Jim is a true industry icon!
