CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#MA<\/a>--Oaklyn Consulting, a Chattanooga-based mergers, acquisitions and capital-raising consulting firm, today celebrated the 10th<\/sup> anniversary of its founding in 2016.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nFounded by investment banker Frank Williamson, Oaklyn Consulting helps small- and mid-sized organizations \u2014 both commercial and nonprofit \u2014 navigate significant transitions that can shape the future of their organizations. Over the past decade, Oaklyn Consulting has served more than 200 clients and advised or impacted more than 4,000 business owners, investors, employees and other stakeholders.<\/p>

\nThe firm\u2019s success reflects organizations\u2019 ongoing need for independent, strategic advice in making critical capital decisions. Charging time-based fees and never taking commissions, Oaklyn Consulting acts as a consultant rather than a broker, helping clients evaluate options, address complex situations, make informed decisions about their future and negotiate from a position of strength.<\/p>

\n\u201cOaklyn Consulting began as an experiment,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cWe believed there was an effective way to serve organizational leaders whose situations didn\u2019t fit the traditional investment banking model. Over the past 10 years, we\u2019ve learned that clients benefit from objective advice, our industry peers value having a trusted resource for challenging situations and there is a meaningful need for a different approach to investment banking. We\u2019re grateful for the trust our clients and referral partners have placed in us over the past decade, and we\u2019re energized to continue growing and serving clients in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>

\nIn addition to Williamson, Oaklyn Consulting's team includes veteran M&A advisors Lane Ford and Rob Tyndall, commercial real estate specialist Daniel Levison, investor outreach specialist Chris Turley and investor relations specialist Leah Williams.<\/p>

\nSince its founding, Oaklyn Consulting has advised clients across a wide range of industries on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, succession planning, investor relations and other strategic corporate finance matters. The firm was recognized with a Gold Stevie Award for Most Innovative Company of the Year in 2019.<\/p>

\nBefore Oaklyn, Williamson was managing partner of FourBridges Capital Advisors and held executive leadership roles at Unum Group during a period when the company grew from $2.5 billion to $10 billion in annual revenue. He also served as interim COO for Vets First Choice, at the time the fastest-growing business services company on the Inc. 500 list. He began his career in the investment banking department of Morgan Stanley and is a Harvard Business School graduate.<\/p> Contacts<\/b>
