Testimonials from Emmett’s Clients
“Emmett and the team at TechCXO turned out to be one of the most important decisions we made in maximizing the value of our company for the sales process. Emmett took the time to really understand the business and accounting. He was able to provide current management, along with perspective buyers, the full financial picture of our business that went above and beyond our ERP data. I would recommend Emmett to any company looking to better understand their financials both historically and forecasted. Emmett was a pleasure to work with and I would never sell another one of my companies without his vast expertise in my corner.”
– Shaun Boros, Partner with Boros Enterprises and former owner of Scanco SoftwareEmmett and the team at TechCXO were critical to helping us navigate through a strategic pivot coming out of Covid. Emmett and his team quickly got up to speed, took control of the financial operations, worked with our lenders and investors, and became a trusted advisor to the business. Emmett was critical in helping us successfully complete a complex M&A process resulting in a synergistic merger with another higher-ed focused technology business. I’d highly recommend Emmett and the team at TechCXO to any business looking to get more out of the finance function.
