ACM CELEBRATES IT’S FIFTH YEAR!
August marks five years since we launched the firm. Over that period, we have:
• Served in more than 85 engagements
• Managed over 100,000 employees across 43 cities, 19 states and six countries
• Assisted our clients generate combined revenue of more than $20 billion*
• Refinanced or recapitalized over $1.1 billion of debt
• Employed 45 professionals
• Permanently placed three of our professionals into client assignments
• Supported our clients in the Agricultural, Apparel, Aviation, Automotive, Banking, Construction, Consumer Products, Telecom, Medical Devices, Staffing, Computer Chip Manufacturers and Mining industries, among many others
• Experienced three successive years in which our top line has doubled over the previous year
“Helping companies in distress or transition has been a passion of mine for many years”, said founder and Managing Partner, Jim Martin. “When we launched this firm, my vision was to recruit and retain quality men and women with whom I could partner to serve the lower middle market of our economy. “
Our service offering has expanded over the previous two years to include quality of earnings reports, due diligence assistance on M&A transactions, litigation support, forensic accounting, operational assessments as well as bulk asset sales for companies in bankruptcy. We not only provide C-level executives for clients in distressed situations but also to our clients who need augmentation.
A testament to the firm’s rapid ascent has been the successful launch of ACM Capital Fund I, a bridge lender for our clients’ short term liquidity needs. To date, ACM has placed seven bridge loans to our various clients. According to Martin, “This vehicle is a natural extension of our core business. We fully expect to raise substantial capital for deployment in 2014 and beyond.”
ACM is proud that 95 percent of our business is referred. Accountants, Attorneys, Consultants, Private Equity Funds, Lenders, and Family Offices truly value our work and consistently refer clients to us.
Thank you to our growing client base for your support during this initial five-year period. We are sincerely grateful for all of you as we continue to revive and grow businesses in the middle-market!
*This represents cumulative sales for five years
