Jim has moderated and spoken on several panels with Opus Connect and each time has offered his unique perspective and insight into distressed M&A.

Their professional, pleasant and courteous demeanor pleased us and their work ethic impressed us. Even after the engagement, they have followed up to ensure that the acquisition proceeded smoothly and volunteered to clarify any of their findings as necessary.

With Avant, I know that I’ll get high-quality, efficient, and relevant work and even more importantly, I know that I’ll be working with true professionals and a partner.

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.

They are smart, pragmatic, professional, and bring to their engagements the unique ability to visualize a compelling story, driven by solid, data-driven analysis.

We recently went through a merger and his advice saved us a lot of money, time, and headaches. I highly recommend him and the team at Avant for any important financial decisions!

Avant provided consulting assistance in 2017 to one of StoneCreek Capital’s portfolio companies. They achieved all of our stated objectives and we were pleased with their high level of expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism.

Avant is a very reputable firm with a resourceful team that provides exceptional service and delivers on what they say.

I found them as the consummate professionals: insightful, practical, thorough, knowledgeable, team player, personable, and extremely capable. We could not have achieved such successful solutions without their sound advice and recommendations.

Avant is highly detail-oriented with a strong depth of experience as well as integrity and good judgment.

I enjoyed Jim’s valuable insight into many complex issues obtained through years of experience; this is not a guy you need to train to get the job done! Hire Jim and his firm Avant Advisory Group and learn for yourself!

We were able to analyze the lifeblood of the company in detail without wasting time discussing less important issues. They respected my time and that of my staff, helping to make the overall process smooth and efficient.

The company that Avant analyzed for us was initially very averse to us engaging a crisis manager. They soon viewed Avant as a valuable partner, however, with both the CFO and CEO speaking highly of Avant’s professionalism, knowledge, and ability to quickly diagnose the Company’s critical issues.

For over 10 years, Avant Advisory Group has been my go-to consultant for various business operations and ventures. They have successfully helped me resolve multiple and complex strategic, financial, legal, and organizational issues.

Avant worked very hard to meet with the right people in and around our target company, ask the right questions, and make all parties feel comfortable with their investigative work.

I have worked with Jim Davidson for or over 25 years, both in his capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of two major corporations and as a consultant, utilizing his forensic specialization skills, his financial and strategic planning skills involving mergers and acquisitions, and advice on the duties of officers and directors of a major financial institution.

I came to know Avant Advisory Group as part of a forensic investigation requested by my company’s senior lender. The company had defaulted on its loan agreement, and the lender sent Avant to investigate the situation and evaluate the company’s opportunity for a turnaround versus a sale.

In addition, our long association has afforded me the opportunity to observe his entrepreneurial spirit, experience, and leadership. I know him as highly motivated, service-oriented, physically and mentally tough, of the highest integrity, a skilled communicator, and a natural leader.
