Transactions

I had the pleasure of working with Akash on an add-on acquisition for a healthcare staffing portfolio company, American Health Staffing Group. It was as smooth an M&A process as I have worked on. We closed within 90 days of executing an LOI and everyone remains thrilled with the transaction several years later. Akash is a great guy, and a pleasure to work with.

Akash was our first call when we decided it was time to find a partner to help us achieve our goals . We spoke with other firms but in the end, it was an obvious choice to have him represent us. It was important that we had someone in our corner that not only was experienced, but also someone we felt we could fully trust and would fight for the best outcome for us. Someone who would listen, but also someone who would tell us what we needed to hear rather than what we wanted to hear.

Akash is exactly who you want on your side for life’s most crucial transactions – he is extremely knowledgeable, highly energetic, personable and reasonable, and an incredibly hard worker. He got us what we wanted and exceeded our expectations in every way. I would hire Akash and his firm again and recommend him enthusiastically. Thank you, Akash, for an amazing experience and results!

Akash represented the founders in my acquisition of ICON Medical Network. In my experience you are usually adverse to each other. However, we not only successfully completed the transaction, we also ended up in a positive place to move forward. His industry knowledge is outstanding, as is his ability to keep the process going. Akash was clearly looking out for his client, however I never once felt that he was taking advantage of me. That is not an easy feat! I would wholeheartedly recommend him and his firm.

Apart from his knowledge, experience, and relationships in the space, what impressed us most about Akash was his dedication to us as his clients and to ensuring we had a smooth and successful outcome. He has a “do whatever it takes” mentality and took ownership of every phase of the process and that resonated really well with us. In the end, we are thrilled with the deal Akash was able to get us and excited about the next chapter for CompuStaff.

Akash Taneja was an invaluable resource to my partner and I long before we were actively considering a sale of our company. I always felt like I could lean on him as a resource throughout the entire process. His experience, knowledge and insight as a specialist in the staffing industry was crucial to the success of the sale of ICON. His connections within the industry ultimately led us to an introduction to Janet and for that, we could not be happier.

Akash was the perfect partner to us in the sale of ProTask Inc. to Inspyr Solutions. From finding a buyer pool, to hand-holding through due diligence, and advising during negotiations through close, Akash remained persistent, professional and was our “coach” until we reached the finish line. Not only did we find a great M&A advisor, but we found a friend in the process. I highly recommend Akash and Momentum for your M&A representation and advising needs.

To say that Akash was instrumental in helping us secure the right partner to take our firm to the next level would be a vast understatement. He went above and beyond to ensure we properly marketed our firm, spoke with several potential partners, and ultimately selected the right one. From inception to transaction close, Akash and Momentum Advisory Partners were dedicated to our effort and kept our best interests at the forefront every step of the way.

I highly recommend Momentum to anyone who wants to sell or buy a company in the staffing industry. The entire process took us a little over nine months, and Akash guided me through every step, from valuation and negotiation to LOI, agreements, closing, and post-closing. During the entire process, he was able to establish a good working relationship with all parties involved—buyers, VCs, and attorneys on both sides—and took the lead in driving the process to a successful closing.
