Three Pennsylvania-based business and mergers & acquisitions experts have launched TwelveDawn Mergers & Acquisitions, a mid-sized financial and strategic consulting firm focused on owners seeking to create an exit for their going-concern.
 
TwelveDawn specializes in selling companies as well as preparing companies for future sale through tailored business optimization engagements. The three principals have long histories in both processes at all market levels, bringing valuable insights to growing small to mid-sized companies who are often overlooked by industry segment specialists.

TwelveDawn partners with businesses directly and represents value-add services to related professionals in accounting, law, institutional lending, alternative financing, and turnaround and operational management consulting.

The firm’s professionals leverage their deep expertise as finance and management professionals in Wall Street C-suite corporate leadership and governance to assist Main Street businesses with entrepreneurial, tactical and strategic leadership.

“We are thrilled to provide a service that helps business owners prepare to exit their businesses with maximum value intact, and then helps execute the departure plan,” said Joe Volansky, co-founder of TwelveDawn. “We approach our clients as private partners and fellow business operators, not as sales representatives focused solely on a completed transaction."

Currently a Board Member for a growth technology business and a senior military reserve officer, Volansky has spent his career in management and finance in small, middle-market and Fortune 50 companies. Similarly, his team has served across small and large businesses as CxOs and C-suite level principal leaders. They have been involved in numerous merger & acquisition deals from the small to the multi-billion dollar transaction of Kraft Foods.

The name TwelveDawn refers to the point in nautical twilight when the sun reaches 12 degrees from rising and sailors can just begin to see the horizon, and signifies the company’s commitment to helping clients find their new beginning.

Headquartered in State College, Pennsylvania, the firm works with clients throughout the U.S.
