My motivation for working in corporate finance is to help business owners find the right buyers or the right acquisition opportunity to ensure a transaction structure that takes into account the owners' specific situation and, not least, ensure optimal transaction terms for the owners. For me, transactions are not about winning or losing but about ensuring that all parties leave the deal with a good gut feeling.
