Meet Steve Bennett

Having purchased and sold a medium-sized business in Greater Cincinnati, I understand the complexities of a transaction from both the buyer’s and seller’s perspectives. With a BBA in Finance from Notre Dame, an MBA from Michigan, and experience as a former business owner, Strategy VP, and Management Consultant, I specialize in maximizing value through financial analysis, strategic planning, relationship-building, and expert negotiations.
