Gussoni said, “From the moment we first met the CMG team, I sensed a perfect fit for my goal of selling the company. Chemistry is paramount in a project like this, and the need to trust and accept guidance is crucial. CMG earned our trust and demonstrated it repeatedly. We never missed a step and CMG kept us moving forward with confidence. I’m thankful for their exceptional work and unwavering support. It’s been a pleasure working with such a dedicated and professional team.”
Terence Hannafin, partner at CMG, said, “It has been a privilege to work with Richard and the entire Culinaire team through this important chapter in their company’s history. Our disciplined approach ensured that we not only maximized value for Culinaire but also found the ideal partner who shares their vision for the future and respects the values upon which they’ve built the company. This transaction is a testament to their hard work and dedication and we could not be more pleased with the outcome.”
Jackson Walker served as Culinaire’s primary legal advisor, Armanino provided tax and accounting support and CBIZ provided quality of earnings support for the transaction.
