    Ken’s work as Interim CFO was critical to preparing us for the rigors of the sale process,” says Bruce Bates, founder and current CEO of RISA. “Ken was able to make an immediate impact, providing insights into our business and preparing us for the challenges of due diligence and all the work required to successfully close a sale to a sophisticated, strategic buyer.  Bringing Ken in was a great decision and made the process much smoother.

    Dr. Lanier received a very attractive valuation and was able to walk away from the practice at about 2x what he originally anticipated. The buyer’s rigorous QofE process was managed flawlessly. The multiple received could not have been achieved without the contribution of Scott Patterson and Hardesty. What great partners.

Interim Management

Hardesty Partners are able to quickly engage in client situations and hit the ground running, adding immediate impact where it is needed the most. Our flexibility allows us to work in a variety of scenarios where we are helping develop teams and providing guidance and oversight – or, working in tandem with existing groups to accomplish specific objectives.

Executive Search

We recognize that in many situations our client’s needs are best met by finding a permanent resource for a specific role. Using our propriety methodologies and available tools, we work with clients to determine the requisite qualifications and attributes for each position. We then conduct thorough and in-depth behavioral interviews and apply executive judgment gained from our years of being in the business to present the best qualified candidates. Our 360-degree approach features many differences as compared to exclusive executive search organizations.

Special Projects

Our clients often encounter situations where additional resources and expertise are needed to address recent developments. Our flexible operating model and depth of talent allow us to respond with solutions that produce immediate impact and create value. Hardesty Partners bring a “first responder” mentality to each assignment and because of our deep experience in finance, operations and technology, we are able to assist our clients in a variety of ways.

Consulting

Our aim is to help organizations identify, evaluate, optimize and deliver the value embedded within their strategic initiatives and ongoing operations. We’ve found that a vision is best reached and long-term goals met when an organization is strategically aligned via the establishment of centralized and coordinated planning and management of initiatives and daily activities.
