“It is like having a fractional CFO and Chief Strategy Officer in one, guiding our strategic decisions and shaping our strategic bets. The best part has been the mindset shift, from growing revenue to thinking about long term shareholder value.”

“Getting to simplicity is really hard. We have come from a place where business is complicated, and you simplified it, and the things that need to happen for us to get there.”

“I only started to think about my business as an asset when I started working with Horizon. No one ever talked to me about that. They gave us the areas to zone in on strategically, and now we have a path to the growth we want.”

“The ability to get high level and actually work on the whole structure of what we’re doing. To pull yourself up and understand what’s going on. That’s the value.”

“Matt guided our ownership team through the sale of Mid-Canada Mod Center to De Havilland Canada… While the deal was complex with numerous moving parts and tight timelines, Matt kept us focused on the goal line, responding quickly to evolving issues at every stage in process.”

“He’s sharp, direct, and brings real clarity to complex decisions. He listens, quickly gets to the heart of an issue, and isn’t afraid to give candid advice, even when it’s not the answer you were hoping to hear.”

“Working with Horizon transformed what I thought my exit could be. Clarity, consensus with my partners, the bar raised on what was possible, and a clear roadmap to get there.”

“Horizon gave us a clear and practical lens on where we stand today and what acquirers will care about most. Their process helped us identify gaps and prioritize next steps without overwhelming us.”

“When a buyer approached us, Matt helped us slow down and get clear on how we wanted to show up. He gave us a framework for the conversation, helped us put words to the value we’d built, and kept us focused on what mattered most. The offer ended up 3.5x higher than where it started. Just as important, we walked into every conversation feeling prepared and confident.”

“I’d spent 30 years building my business, but selling it was new territory. Matt sat down with my numbers, showed me how a buyer would look at them, and walked me through everything: the sale process, my staff, my biggest client, the lease. When the offer came in, I understood exactly where it came from and what my options were.”
