A.J. Arenburg Financial

A.J. Arenburg Financial is a lower middle market M&A and valuation advisory firm providing sell-side and buy-side M&A, business valuation, Quality of Earnings, and fractional CFO services. We work with owner-led and sponsor-backed companies across industrial, construction, technology, healthcare, and business services sectors.

Our focus is preparing companies for disciplined transactions and long-term value creation. On the sell-side, we guide owners through exit planning, financial normalization, EBITDA adjustments, buyer positioning, and transaction execution. On the buy-side, we support acquirers with valuation analysis, financial diligence, deal structuring insight, and integration-focused financial modeling.

We provide independent business valuations for strategic planning, shareholder transitions, recapitalizations, and capital raises, utilizing income, market, and transaction-based methodologies. Our Quality of Earnings engagements help identify normalized earnings, working capital considerations, and key risk areas prior to closing.

Through fractional CFO engagements, we strengthen financial reporting, forecasting, cash flow management, and KPI tracking — positioning companies for scalability and transaction readiness.

We partner with founders, management teams, private equity groups, and family-owned businesses to improve financial clarity, reduce transaction risk, and maximize enterprise value.
