References The Heartwood team and I have a trusted working relationship with Tom and Meridian. They have consulted for us on several key projects and we have been thoroughly impressed with their attention to detail, responsiveness and their ability to customize their reports/strategies to our individual needs. In the process they have saved several of our portfolio companies considerable sums of money. The fact that their reports can be delivered on an interactive platform with audio and extra security features is a significant upgrade. If you are considering an alternate consultant to perform pre-acquisition due diligence, or any type of cost savings analysis on current portfolio companies, I would highly recommend you speak with Tom and his team.
