“We value Chris’ expertise, opinion and straightforwardness. His thoughts and opinions are important to both myself as CFO and our owner/CEO. Chris knows what we are trying to accomplish and what we need to be thinking about strategically and financially – what the key considerations are before its plays out. That is very relevant for me as the CFO because the last thing I want is an issue, like a cash flow or working capital shortage that becomes an issue later. Chris is able to factor in both my perspective as CFO and our owner’s goals and objectives. Also Lantern Capital’s business model is appealing because there is no bias to make the project bigger or expand the scope. Other advisors often try to boost the deal size in order to grow the potential advisor fee – sort of like a real estate agent that keeps showing you houses above your price range.”
