Bennett Thrasher

Yesterday, the BT Operations team took a well-deserved break for some fun, relaxation, and team bonding at Truist Park! ⚾️

We had a fantastic time cheering on the Atlanta Braves as they picked up a great 3–1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. 🙌

Great game, great company, and a great outing! It was a wonderful opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, enjoy some time together, and strengthen the team spirit.

“Sophisticated buyers have elevated their standards and are taking a closer look at what’s really driving a company’s performance," says Trey Stephens, Director of M&A Transaction Advisory Services at Bennett Thrasher.

Bennett Thrasher breaks down five trends reshaping middle-market M&A - covering everything from recurring revenue quality to the growing influence of AI on how buyers assess competitive advantage. For companies considering a sale, capital raise, or exit, understanding these shifts matters more than ever.

Quarterbacks & QBIs! The PFS Fantasy Football League huddled up for draft night, officially kicking off football and busy season.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting another CXO360 breakfast alongside Synovus, bringing together business leaders for an engaging discussion on The Family Business Crossroads: Growth, Succession, and the Private Equity Question.

A sincere thank you to our outstanding panelists, Bhavik Paryani, Mahsa Poorak, Larry Jardina, and Matt Jardina, for sharing their candid insights on navigating growth, succession planning, ownership decisions, and preserving legacy across generations. Your willingness to share both challenges and successes made for an impactful conversation.

Thank you as well to Jeff Call, CEO and Managing Partner of Bennett Thrasher, for moderating a thoughtful discussion and helping bring these important perspectives to life.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us for the morning and contributed to the conversation. The exchange of ideas and experiences is what makes CXO360 such a valuable forum for leaders across our community.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event.

Yesterday, members of our PFS team traded spreadsheets for wagging tails and spent some time volunteering at the Fulton County Animal Shelter! 🐾💛

We loved having the opportunity to give back, lend a hand and, of course, share a little extra love with some very deserving animals.

Thank you to the Fulton County Animal Shelter for all you do for animals in our community, and for letting our team be a small part of it!

The Bennett Thrasher Denver team took a little break from the workday for some puppy time! 🐶💙

They loved visiting the puppy pop-up supporting Lifeline Puppy Rescue and their mission to help pups find loving homes. Safe to say, it was hard to get back to work after these cuddles!
