What clients are saying about Morrissey Goodale

Mick Morrissey and his excellent team were with us at every step of our process to prepare our firm for sale. They strategically worked with us early on to position our company for a successful outcome. I appreciated their extensive market knowledge and the care they took to understand our company and our goals. I have and will continue to recommend the team at Morrissey Goodale!

Jill Wells Heath | LEED AP, EVP,
NV5 | ENR #24

Morrissey Goodale has functioned as an extension of our staff, primarily helping us identify strategic fit firms for acquisition, and also advising us throughout the acquisition process. The team at Morrissey Goodale has also advised us regarding strategy, helped us fill an open board seat, and generally helped us look to the future. They are easy to work with, keep us updated on where they are with various projects, and most importantly produce results.
