Our Expertise, Your Success
Our Vision
To focus on only privately held companies and those that are successful in their selected market.
Our Mission
To provide affordable and high-quality services to clients with complex needs. Methodology and repeatability are key, along with a unique process for confidentially targeting potential buyers. The hallmark of our company model is discretion, resulting in a strong word-of-mouth referral network.
Our Values
Consistency & Quality
We pride ourselves on delivering consistent, high-quality results to our clients. Our finely tuned processes adapted to the unique needs of each client ensure every engagement is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail.
Reasonable Fees
We offer reasonable fees that are both competitive and transparent, so our clients can rest assured they are getting the best value for their money.
Streamlined Process
We use a combination of internally developed and externally purchased tools to streamline our processes and work more efficiently. All of our associates have access to these tools and to the people who created and maintain them.
Benefits of Experience
Our team brings a wealth of experience to each engagement, as we have worked with successful, privately held companies across various industries. We apply this knowledge and expertise to each project, providing valuable insights and actionable recommendations.
Why Are We Different?
Our streamlined staff focuses on only privately held companies and those that stand out in their market. The Woodward Company works with successful, privately held companies that require a sophisticated approach to selling their business or raising capital.
We differentiate ourselves from larger investment banks with our quality and structure. Our clients are provided with the expert advice of seasoned professionals without the costly fees associated with public companies and hundred-million-dollar transactions.
