Philosophy

Our philosophy is to dedicate our industry acumen and energy to those firms or individuals who wish to either divest their interests in, or to invest in the building service industry, or that need assistance in strategic planning or other business projects. Our goal is to add value to the transaction or project through providing expert advisory and intermediary services. This is accomplished through diligence and thoroughness and leading the transaction to a successful conclusion for all parties involved, whether representing a Seller or a Buyer or assisting management with a specific project. We strongly believe that each transaction or project must serve the need and desire of all parties and that it must be accomplished in such a way that, when viewed in retrospect, it is still viewed by all involved as being a cost-effective, successful transaction or project.

GPA recognizes that a mature, qualified advisory and/or intermediary team is critical to the success of each and every project undertaken. As such, our Associates all have extensive building service industry experience, having either sold their companies or having extensive financial and merger and/or acquisition experience. With in-depth understanding of the industry, we maintain a collaborative relationship among our Associates and often bring their collective experience and industry acumen to bear on an individual transaction or project.

We take a creative and flexible approach to each transaction and/or project and we view each one as being unique. When providing merger and acquisition intermediary services, considerable care is given in matching the prospective buyer with the prospective seller. We are thoughtful and take a prudent and realistic course in providing a market valuation for a company. When viewed in retrospect, these market valuations have withstood the test of time and have been viewed favorably by both financial institutions and investors. We strive to complete transactions in the optimum amount of time, causing as little disruption as possible to our clients, its operations and its workforce.
