Trustees often look to other professionals to leverage their business development. We welcome partnerships with sustainable, and reputable professionals who can represent our clients.

Legal Counsel
Whether representing the sell or buy side, often law firms take on the role of project manager. This either requires an allocation of resources, like attorneys, or hiring a person that increases fixed costs. Smaller law firms may not be able to compete with larger firms that have internal client and project management skills. Outsource the project management to Pathfinder USA. Call us to discuss.
CPA / Valuation
We always start an engagement that requires a valuation/feasibility study. Because we can represent either the sell or buy side, we usually seek the aid of a CPA firm. We also get calls to engage in acquisition of CPA firms by partners looking to grow. If your firm or your clients are looking to acquire or sell and they aren't familiar with the options. Call us!
