Greene Holcomb Fisher and Allison-Williams Company

Do you guys know anything about those 2 boutique investment banks? I know that they are middle market and are based in Minneapolis. Other than that any advice would be appreciated.

 

GHF is a respectable lower MM IB shop. Expect to work around 80 hrs/wk, sometimes as little as 70, other times 100. Comp is competitive for the lower MM, but below Lazard MM, HLHZ, Piper or HW.

Stay clear of Allison-Williams. Tiny deals, deal flow is weak, comp sucks. Weird guys.

Did you end up interviewing with DD HFs?

 
Bullet-Tooth Tony:

You won't get any M&A experience. Better than nothing I suppose, but deal flow is non-existent and if you are lucky enough to work on a live deal, it will probably be business broker-esque or some type of dogshit private placement.

These were some of the least impressive people I have ever met at industry events.

Damn that is pretty brutal. Looks like their website reflects the company.
