The DVS Group’s Role: Buy-Side Advisory to Strategic Corporate Buyer

The Deal:
The DVS Group initially connected with Sue Finney in the summer of 2013 during outreach efforts that led to HMS Health’s prior acquisition of Crawford Diversified Services. In 2014, The DVS Group re-engaged with Ms. Finney as she had begun the process of formally marketing her business for sale. Working collaboratively with Ms. Finney, her broker, and HMS Health’s management team, The DVS Group negotiated a transaction that provided a fair valuation while also offering the seller meaningful upside through continued involvement in integration and future growth. The acquisition expanded the geographic reach and service capabilities of both organizations by combining best-in-class operations in their respective markets.
