Our Services

Dedicated Corporate Development and M&A Capability for Aerospace, Defense, and Government Services

Emerald Street Advisors specializes in delivering strategic insight and M&A advisory services inside the boardroom with an advisor’s perspective, providing embedded corporate development for organizations that need execution capability without a permanent hire, and strategic advisory work that determines whether a transaction is the right action at the right time. We focus on your strategic goals and tailor our services to what you need at every stage.

Engagements are scoped and tailored to your objectives. Some clients retain the practice for a defined period and others may engage on a single transaction. Every engagement is delivered directly by the principal.
