It was evident from our first meeting, Paul and Cyndi are passionate about helping family-owned businesses like YMC cultivate a succession plan that leaves the business positioned for success while respecting the family and generations of hard work and investment.

ECP does an impeccable job breaking down what could be an extremely overwhelming ESOP process into small achievable steps. Their experience with ESOP transactions was beyond valuable and allowed us to continually develop faith and trust in their advisement. Paul and Cyndi’s knowledge, vast resource of related professionals, and integrity made the ESOP process less daunting.

ECP is unique in not only do they provide expert professional service for ESOP transitions but understand and invest themselves in the emotions threaded in a family as they move away from ownership. Our ESOP transition for me was the most challenging professional endeavor I have faced. For the Young family it was emotional and heavy. We are forever grateful for Paul and Cyndi’s diligence and patience to find the perfect numbers, constant and caring listening ears, and voices of reason and experience. It was truly a joy to work with ECP during this pivotal time our company history.
