WITH EXPERIENCE
ABOUT BROWNSTONE

BROWNSTONE Capital Advisors began with a single focus: helping owners – those
who have built a successful business or professional practice – finish well
.

To “finish well” means to transition from the business on the owner’s terms. For
some, the business is sold to partners, managers, employees or possibly to an
outside buyer. For others, the business is gifted to the owner’s successors. And for
a few, the owner reduces the time spent in the business while drawing a steady
source of income.

A different finish. A unique strategy. Rewarding solutions.

Our experience is the bridge you need to finish well.

BROWNSTONE Announces Relationship with
Peter G. Sutherland & Associates


Adds Mergers & Acquisition Capabilities to its Business Growth and
Succession Planning Services


SPOKANE, WA – BROWNSTONE Capital Advisors LLC announced that it has entered
into a strategic partnership with Peter G. Sutherland Associates, a thirty-year
mergers, acquisition and corporate development firm with offices in Coeur d’Alene, ID
and San Francisco, CA.

“It’s a natural extension of our work with lower-middle to middle-market companies,”
said Paul Brown, Brownstone’s Managing Principal. “For years our unique expertise
has helped owners create and implement comprehensive succession and family-
business transition strategies. Now we are taking this work to its logical ‘next step:’
coordinating all of the activities leading to a successful sale of the company or, in
some cases, taking the lead in a planned acquisition strategy.”

The decision to work with Peter G. Sutherland & Associates (PGSA) was made after an
extensive review process by both firms. “In many ways our firms naturally
complement one another. PGSA’s integrity, commitment to producing measurable
results and its ability to find innovative solutions to complex challenges are the same
principles that drive our practice,“ said Brown. “This similarity makes it easy for
owners to move seamlessly through the succession process from planning to
personal preparation, from value improvement to the actual sale of the business or
practice.”
