Up until the COVID-19 crisis, the economy had been on a tear and business valuations were at sky-high levels, making it a good time for company owners to seek investment or even exit altogether.

Seeing an upswing in demand for help with such services, accounting firm Hancock Askew & Co. LLP — which has offices in Tampa; Miami; Atlanta; Augusta, Ga.; and Savannah, Ga. — has launched Clarity Capital Advisors, a spinoff firm that handles interim/fractional CFO solutions, mergers and acquisitions and general corporate finance advice. Clarity Capital joins a growing field in the region of niche-driven M&A consultants.
