The People Behind Your M&A Success
Dr. Remington Curtis
With a PhD in Accounting and experience as a professor, Dr. Curtis brings deep analytical insight into valuation, investor behavior, and business performance. His expertise is not just theoretical—he has held executive roles in investment funds and start-ups and is an active owner and investor in small businesses. This ability to turn concepts into tangible results is evident in the 17% year-over-year growth of the moving company he recently acquired.
Dr. Curtis’s leadership extends beyond business. As an officer in the Utah Army National Guard, including a deployment to Iraq overseeing medical logistics for Special Operations in the Arabian Peninsula, he developed discipline, strategic thinking, and operational excellence that now benefit every transaction at CurtisWiltse.
By combining technical expertise, operational experience, and strategic leadership, Dr. Curtis ensures that every client of CurtisWiltse is positioned for maximum value, smoother due diligence, and successful closings.
Dean Wiltse
In his earlier career, Mr. Wiltse distinguished himself by taking Greenfield Online (SRVY) public on NASDAQ. This marked a significant milestone by establishing the world's most extensive interrelation of global online consumer communities. Following the successful IPO, he spearheaded the acquisition of seven companies, including Ciao in Europe, acquired for $150 million. Greenfield Online was eventually bought by Microsoft for a substantial $480 million, incorporating Ciao into Bing to boost its global Ecommerce technology, revenue, and consumer awareness. The success of these transactions led to other leadership positions and opportunities that required his oversight and guidance of complex deals. The insights gained from these experiences directly inform his approach today, helping clients achieve even greater value in their business sales.
As co-owner and Managing Broker of CurtisWiltse, he continues to help founders and their families achieve millionaire status under his guidance and representation.
Maximum Value. Done Right. CurtisWiltse.
Selling your business is the most important transaction of your life. You only get one chance to get it right. The team you choose to represent you will be the single most important factor in your financial future.
A generalist business broker who sells pizzerias and car washes is not equipped to handle the complexities of your multi-million dollar asset. You don't need a broker. You need a dedicated M&A advisory team.
The CurtisWiltse Difference: Two Experts, One Goal
Your company is a complex operation. To sell it for maximum value, you need a team that understands it from every angle. Our firm was built on a unique partnership that delivers precisely that. We cover both sides of the M&A equation: the strategic and the financial.
The CEO Perspective: The Art of the Deal
Most advisors have only ever sold businesses. Dean Wiltse has bought them and represented dozens of owners during the last two decades.
As a former NASDAQ CEO who has run, scaled, and acquired multiple companies, Dean has sat on the other side of the table. He knows exactly what a strategic buyer is looking for, how they analyze an opportunity, and what makes them pay a significant premium.
His operational expertise ensures your business is positioned not just as a set of financials, but as a strategic solution to a buyer's problem. He crafts the compelling narrative that justifies a top-dollar valuation.
The PhD Perspective: The Science of Valuation
A great deal is built on a foundation of unshakeable numbers. Remington Curtis, a PhD in Accounting and former university professor of business valuation, ensures your financials are not just clean, but defensible.
He builds a sophisticated, data-backed financial case that can withstand the most intense due diligence from private equity firms and their lenders. When buyers and their banks see your numbers, they see irrefutable credibility. This removes doubt, eliminates friction, and gives us the leverage to negotiate from a position of undeniable strength.
Our Process is Designed for One Outcome: Your Success
We manage a comprehensive, confidential process designed to create a competitive market for your company.
Preparation: We start by conducting a deep valuation to understand your company's true, provable cash flow (SDE/EBITDA). We work with you to identify and fix risks, clean up your financials, and build a powerful sales narrative that highlights your unique value.
Marketing: We run a confidential, controlled auction. We create professional marketing materials (a Teaser and a full "CIM") and market your opportunity to a curated global list of all four buyer types: Strategic, Private Equity, Family Office, and Individual.
Negotiation: By bringing multiple, qualified buyers to the table at the same time, we create a competitive environment. This is the only way to discover your company's true maximum value and give you the leverage to dictate the best possible price and terms.
Closing: We are your dedicated project managers from start to finish. We manage the intense 90-day sprint of due diligence, coordinate with the lawyers and accountants, and navigate the complex legal documents to ensure you get to the closing table smoothly.
