Cliff Brown, CVA, M&AMI

Cliff has over 35 years of experience in helping owners grow their businesses, evolve their roles, and navigate their transitions or exits, with a full focus on mergers, acquisitions, and transactional engagements since 2014. He is a seasoned M&A advisor, advising on dozens of transactions and completing $300 million in deals in just the last five years. Cliff’s M&A and transactional expertise spans numerous industries, including technology, manufacturing, distribution, construction, specialty contractors, retail, professional, and transportation.

Prior to joining Jordon Voytek Capital Partners, Cliff spent over six years as a Managing Director at Murphy McCormack Capital Advisors, a middle-market M&A firm headquartered in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Before joining Murphy McCormack, Cliff was the founder of Navigence, Inc., an M&A practice located in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The first half of Cliff’s career was focused on business advisory services, including a national consultancy firm he founded in 1998, where he worked with some of the largest, privately-owned companies in the U.S. This early experience provided incredible insights and insider information on epic transition and family succession stories that Cliff uses every day in working with businesses of all sizes and types.

Cliff centers his practice on the importance of educating business owners on the value and attractiveness of their businesses before going to market, maximizing value to the greatest extent possible, developing strategies to effectively capitalize on and monetize their business value, and then advocating on their behalf throughout the transactional process. In Simon Sinek’s terms, Cliff’s “Why” is helping owners pass the ultimate test of entrepreneurship: successfully transitioning or selling their businesses and leaving a legacy that reflects their years, and in many cases, decades, of incredibly hard work and dedication. With that goal in mind, Cliff works diligently to ensure that each and every transaction will stand the test of time for his clients.

Cliff has earned the professional designations of Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) and Mergers & Acquisitions Master Intermediary (M&AMI).

Outside of work, Cliff enjoys sailing and travelling with family and friends, especially in the Mediterranean. With two grown daughters successfully launched in life, Cliff now spends his days trying to keep up with his artist wife and their energetic Australian Shepherd, Jasper The Wonder Dog.
