 Acquiring a business or being acquired all that and more on Think Business. Hi I'm John Yeager managing director of business transformation services at Bennett Thrasher. Welcome to Think Business where critical thinking equals growth and success. Today my guest is Charlie Dino, President and GM of AcquireTek, a full line acquisition integration company. Welcome Charlie... thanks John for having me. Charlie so tell me a little bit about what you do at AcquireTek.  Yeah so AcquireTek, we are an acquisition integration company. We go in when somebody acquires a company, we'll go in after they put in a letter of intent for the acquisition and we start to do an assessment. Then we do planning sessions with them and show them how you can do an execution of an integration in a more succinct and process oriented way. So help me understand what do you mean by integration services. What's included in that? Yeah sure so we go all the way from we've done rebranding, communications to employees hr, transition of systems and any type of processes that they might have same thing with financial systems and financial processes and then we also start to get into the operational side of their business. So whatever they do will move inventory if they need to do facility conversions and then we get into the systems and IT side as well which is typically the foundation.

  Hi everybody, This is John Yeager with Bennett Thrasher. Welcome to the next episode of Think Business. I'm excited today to have Bruce Belvin, CEO and founder of OneDataSource. Bruce welcome. Hey John, how are you doing today? I'm doing great, thanks. So the trivia point I have with Bruce is he's probably the last person that I saw in a business capacity before the pandemic. We were in Charleston, at your conference and you know that's when everything broke loose and everybody told us to go on the quarantine and i came home from there and my wife put me into the basement for two weeks to the quarantine and I haven't really seen anybody since, other than Zoom meetings. So that's kind of your claim to fame in my world. I don't know... that's kind of infamous. Hopefully the other attendees don't hold me responsible for what's happened but I didn't think about that that's kind of funny. Yeah it is it was. It was really kind of amazing I you know obviously we started hearing the news. We heard it a little bit the week before but then it really kind of came out that week and so I remember driving home and my wife was pretty worried but fortunately I think we all were healthy and safe so no issues there. So but again welcome. Give me a little bit of intro into OneDataSource and the market you serve and kind of the services you provide and those kind of things, if you don't mind.

The Business of Putting a Roof Over Your Head | Think Business -Guest: Candace Klein

John Yeager is the Managing Director of Business Transformation Services with Bennett Thrasher and the host of Think Business, a video series exploring business, growth, and leadership.   

 Hey this John Yeager with another episode of Think Business. Today we have Candice Klein on our show. Candice is president of Klein Contracting and CEO of Meta Team welcome Candice thanks for joining us at Think Business. Thank you for having me nice to see you John. You too, so tell me a little bit about Klein contracting and then how that relates to Meta Team and give us a little background of how you got here. It's an interesting story I know. So I am a commercial roofer Klein Contracting is a commercial roofing company that has been around for 32 years. I'm the president of it and as you can see I'm female which makes me kind of an anomaly in my field. We do commercial roofing only. Let me be clear because my friends will call and want me to do their houses and I can't help them but what happened was we were looking at our market and my market is the Southeast United States and we are certified as a woman-owned business. We decided it's really not the best thing to service my client's needs when I can only have a geographical footprint that's about this big. There are other wonderful women-owned roofing companies in other areas that also do amazing work that could service clients needs. We got to mulling this over and a little birdie whispered in my ear put them all together. So what happened is I got together with two other really dynamic women-owned roofing companies and an amazing other businesswoman and the four of us created what is now the Meta Team.  #JohnYeager #CandiceKlein #ThinkBusiness

Evaluating Businesses | Think Business -Guest: Gina Miller - Partner at Bennett Thrasher

Welcome everybody to the next episode of Think Business this is John Yeager with Bennett Thrasher in charge at the business transformation services group. Today we have what I call part two of our continuous planning dialogue. Last episode we talked to a couple folks about the infrastructure setting up and FPNA service and FPA tools and vision and those kinds of things and today I want to get into really the nuts and bolts of it. I do want to apologize I think it's day 150 of not having a haircut. So I normally am a little bit more professional on this but you know that's life and the pandemic. So today I want to introduce our guest Gina Miller. Gina is a partner at Bennett Thrasher and she heads our business evaluation group. Gina welcome to the show. - Hi, John, I'm glad to be here with you today. Thanks for introducing me. I say a little bit your viewers a little bit about my background. I have been preparing business valuations for over 20 years now and some small boutique firms before I joined Bennett Thrasher. Six-plus years ago I think partner there a couple years and so we run a group that does valuation services for a variety of purposes. One of the key factors to remember in our valuations is that we do a lot of cash flow forecasting and so a lot of our evaluations are really built on that and so I'm happy to talk to you about that today.  #JohnYeager #GinaMiller #BennettThrasher

Think Business | John Yeager with Guests: John Head and Jim French

Hey, everybody, this is John Yeager with another episode of Think Business. Today we have a couple of special guests Jim French who's CEO and founder of Incubator Finance and John Head who's the SVP of customers and delivery for Planful. Our topics today are around continuous planning and how I get there from here. So this is very timely in this day and time because of everybody starting to come out of pandemic and they've got a lot of questions about how they move forward, what the employment looks like, what their financials are look like, how can they come back? Those kind of things. So we thought is a very timely message. So Jim question for you first is what do you tell people if you think their planning is stuck in neutral? How do we help the clients get out of that position of neutrality and kind of stuck in the mud? - Well I think it becomes first as a mindset right? People are used to doing an annual planning budget obviously is weekend this year that's kind of gone into the trash in the first three months of the year. So it's really a matter of saying okay, I want to start looking and I want to start understanding what's driving the business and I want to be able to pivot and change quickly. So the first thing you got to do is first change your mind that you're no longer just doing this as an exercise right?   #JohnYeager #JohnHead #JimFrench
