Testimonials

We engaged TSG to identify companies that fit our criteria, would allow us to utilize our operational scale, and provide a strategic advantage to drive revenue growth and increase operating margins. This was no small task – researching hundreds of companies, contacting thirty and engaging three to complete a single transaction – but they were persistent in their process.

Scott Cruickshank former CEO at Talus Payments

This transaction highlighted TSG’s expertise in the payments and merchant acquiring space and their leadership position as the “trusted adviser” to the highest tier of payments companies.

Henry Helgeson former CEO/Founder, Cayan

Utilizing TSG was the key first step in going to market with our company. TSG’s detailed approach to valuing and assessing Main Street Softworks prepared us for the rigors of due diligence.

Darryl Wright CEO, Monetra
