In evaluating the right strategic partner for our firm, we placed great emphasis on how the partnership would enhance our capabilities in serving clients while allowing us to retain operational independence. Partnering with Focus will help us to fulfill both requirements, while also reassuring our clients that our firm’s culture will be preserved. The ability to tap into Focus’ capital resources and strategic support was another key factor in our decision, and their track record of helping already successful entrepreneurs continue on a growth trajectory gives us optimism about the opportunities ahead for Patton Albertson & Miller.
