OUR MISSION:

BRING ADVANCED
M&A ADVISORY SERVICES TO THE ENTREPRENUERS OF AMERICA

EQA was founded in 2019 in Denver, Colorado by Matt Williams and Chris Lueth with the goal of building a different kind of advisory firm - one grounded in creativity, hard won experience, disciplined execution, and senior-level involvement at every stage.  What began as a focused practice has grown to a team of professionals drawing on diverse experience from investment banking, M&A law, public accounting, hedge funds, capital markets, and executive leadership roles at Fortune 1000 companies.

EQA currently operates out of both Denver, CO and Boston, MA and continues to serve clients both domestically and internationally.

We are more than simply advisors to the transaction. At our core, we are entrepreneurs, problem solvers, and partners with our clients. Our commitment is simple: we will do whatever is necessary to ensure our clients are successful.

EIGHT QUARTER ADVISORS

Eight Quarter Advisors draws its name and inspiration from the world of woodworking. In woodworking, an "eight quarter" board refers to a board cut precisely at 2” thick. During World War II, material shortages led lumber mills to begin producing boards cut at slightly less than the advertised dimensions. A 2” board became a 1.5” board, and so on across the entire market. This practice continues today, and the "eight quarter" board represents a trusted standard of accuracy as well as excitement from the vast creative possibilities it offers.

Eight Quarter Advisors positions itself as the preferred option in a world where meticulous attention to detail and reliability are paramount. We are a trusted and steadfast partner in the lower middle market crafting tailored transaction solutions with exacting precision and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.
