Chris Sullivan, Managing Partner at VSH CPAs, recently joined David Dick, Paul Humphreys, and Tom Doll for Exit Like a Pro, a business owner seminar focused on preparing for a future transition.

The discussion brought together perspectives from financial planning, M&A advisory, tax, and exit planning.

For business owners, the takeaway is clear: a successful exit is usually shaped long before the transaction begins.

Early planning gives owners more time to strengthen value, address risk, and make decisions with a clearer view of what comes next.

Thank you to Financial Plan, Inc., ACT Capital Advisors , and TD Partners for helping bring this practical conversation to local business owners.
