Comprehensive M&A and Strategy Services

Caliber Consulting offers a comprehensive range of M&A, strategy and finance services, customized to meet clients’ needs.

How do internal growth and M&A ideally work together? Where do most acquisitions fail, and how can you maximize your chance of success? When is M&A the wrong way to go? What situation-specific factors must be considered in the valuation of a target company and the structuring of an offer to acquire it? How can you best avoid pitfalls in the oft-neglected “soft” M&A issues of people and culture — which are usually more important to success than any balance-sheet assets?

Answering these questions well takes judgment informed by experience. Caliber’s President, Charles H. Chappell, has over 25 years of experience as an internal and external consultant to public-sector and private-sector organizations, with a focus on the federal government contracting sector.
