“Jerry has been a professional asset to our business for almost two decades now.  He was there to help us in the beginning as we were just getting started and has been by our side as we have grown from a handful of people to 50 employees.  He has always been very responsive and provided sound financial advice in a way that is easy to understand and shows his genuine interest in our success.”

Keith Hart, President

Hart Heating & AC


“I’ve enjoyed Jerry’s professionalism and wealth of knowledge as a business advisor. As I went through the process of a pending business venture, I felt completely taken care of.  I learned how to look at different possibilities and why.  By relying on Jerry’s experience as a banker I was able to see how to address concerns from a lenders perspective and this helped me to understand the process – it was a very valuable education. Jerry is one of the best people you’ll meet and I believe you will be blessed by working with him.”

Rich Puryear, Owner

“Jerry has guided me through every step of selling my business. His forty plus years of experience as a business counselor and banker gave me all the confidence I needed to structure my sale. When I went to the attorney’s office, they said they had never seen a plan so detailed and ready for them. It saved the attorney time and saved me money. Whether you are buying or selling a business, Jerry is the man for the job. Very trustworthy and reasonable as well.”
