As an independent middle market investment bank, Candlewood’s advisory services are influenced only by our clients’ needs and our commitment to providing cutting edge advice. We offer financial advisory services only, so we are not subject to the demands of traders, equity research, wealth management or other cross sold services. Candlewood is also independently owned and is not subject to the demands of a large parent such as a bank, accounting firm, or other organization with diverse interests.
As a leading advisor serving clients in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and South America we are especially known for our senior level focus on each and every engagement. Our senior partners work every engagement from beginning to end, bringing experience and an orientation to detail every step of the way. Candlewood is known and respected by leading private equity firms, alternative investment funds, commercial banks, middle market companies and entrepreneurs for our discretion and creativity in driving successful transactions from inception to completion, regardless of complexity.
