The transaction process of buying or selling a business can be complicated, stressful, and time consuming. However, it doesn’t always need to be that way. Once the process is complete and your deal has closed…what’s next? What are your next steps and best practices in navigating life “post-deal”?

Join VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm, First Financial Bank, and Thompson Hine for the final installment of the “Merger & Acquisition – Growth Series” on Wednesday, May 31st. During this event, panelists consisting of representatives from each sponsor company, will discuss post-deal best practices and successes as well as key takeaways from the series. We will also be joined by Johnny Krehbiel. Johnny is the Director of Corporate Development for Cremer North America (CNA), a subsidiary of the German holding co. Peter Cremer Holding GmbH & Co. KG. Johnny oversees M&A and post-acquisition integration activities for CNA where he is leverages his previous experiences from both the ‘deal side’ (Institutional Investing, Succession Planning) and the ‘operations side’ (Distribution Center Management, New Market Launches). They will discuss the importance of a dynamic advisory team to help you achieve success and be available to answer your questions.
