Deborah supports industries including Food and Beverage, Life Sciences, Specialty Trades, and Business Services.

Deborah took a less traditional route to investment banking, completing her FINRA certification after several other career choices. As a young teen, she started her very first business – a commercial cleaning service. Her passion for learning and drive for success included studying Microbiology, English Education, American History and Allergy Adapted Baking.

What our clients are saying...

“It is a privilege to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Business Transition Strategies. …As with any family business, negotiations need to be handled delicately and, as with any sale, both parties need to be satisfied with the end result. Quite frankly, without their help, this could not have been achieved. John Howe and Ken Schaefer skillfully analyzed the books and were able to bridge the gap between the sellers’ belief of what the company was worth and its actual worth. Their style is objective, straightforward, thorough and kind in the delivery of their assessment. After the sale was achieved to both parties’ satisfaction, John and Ken were hired to help with the adjustment of the acquisition and the financial health of the company moving forward. I can highly recommend this talented group of experienced business advisors to any company in need of clear and thoughtful company planning and adjustments.”
