Our Team
Experienced advisors. Singular focus.
SSF Consulting was built by operators and advisors who have lived the transaction process from both sides of the table.
Our Story
Built for the Trades
SSF Consulting was founded with a singular mission: to be the most trusted M&A advisor for enterprise HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical companies in North America.
We don't dabble. We don't generalize. Every engagement we take is in the trades sector, which means our buyer relationships, our valuation benchmarks, and our process knowledge are sharper than any generalist firm can offer.
Our founders have been on both sides of the table — as operators who built and sold businesses, and as advisors who have guided dozens of transactions to close. That dual perspective is what makes SSF different.
