What Is Being Said

Meet some of our clients and third-party advisors who have graciously agreed to share their Company Coach experience.


Small Business Planning
For the Hill family, the need to transfer their business happened unexpectedly. Through a referral, Guy Hatcher was called in to take the reins and make things happen in a way that would benefit all involved.

Key Transaction Responsibilities
  • Conducting a strategic planning process to determine what the owners wanted to do with their business, and what they needed to get from their business upon completion of the transfer
  • Bank negotiations
  • Being a liaison between the owners and potential buyers, attorneys, third-party advisors, etc.
  • Managing tax issues
  • Final contract negotiations
  • Structuring the Buy-Out Agreement

If it hadn’t been for Guy, I wouldn’t have known what to do. I was referred to him through a mutual friend, and after some time in getting to know him and what his business could do for my situation, I had the confidence I needed to know that he would do the right thing. He was very knowledgeable through the whole process of transferring our business to a third-party, and it was a big relief having him as our go-to person through this whole transaction. I would certainly recommend him. – Jan Hill

A Nursing Home business, a building and a 5-acre lot were in the hands of aging business owners who knew they would soon need to not only fund a retirement, but also relinquish the responsibility of their ownership in the business and associated property. In turning to Guy Hatcher for help, they were able to accomplish all their tasks.

Key Transaction Responsibilities
  • Walking the owners through the options available to them for donating property, transferring their business, and funding their retirement
  • Tax negotiations
  • Being a liaison between the owners and potential buyers, attorneys, third-party advisors, etc.
  • Structured the Buy-Out Agreement

Guy’s counsel inspires confidence and he got us going in the right direction. His guidance helped us decide what the best solution was for our situation. I don’t give my trust easily, but I found Guy honest, trustworthy, helpful, and a very nice person to deal with. – Sylvette Browning

Referred to Guy Hatcher through their trusted CPA, these business owners were happy to hand over the responsibility of their business transfer.

Key Transaction Responsibilities
  • Negotiating details between family members (this transaction was an inside transfer to the owner’s son and daughter-in-law)
  • Being a liaison between the owner’s and their bank, securing the necessary loan for the transfer
  • Structuring the plan to help the owners retire, while also having minimal tax liabilities for their son who was taking over the company

I’m so glad my late husband Wayne met Guy through our CPA. Guy was a lifesaver; very professional and understanding of my position and my son and daughter-in-law’s position. Because of his expertise, he made the ownership transfer process from me to them so much better. Guy is the type of person that takes a lot of things into account and he treats his clients like family. I have the utmost trust in him and I would recommend him to anyone. – Rose Reed

Due to his diligence, attention to detail, and genuine care for his clients, Barry Kevil, a seasoned CPA, has grown his business beyond what most firms ever experience. He challenges his clients to consider all aspects of planning and avoids actions just because they might be easy or the way to gain the most profit. Instead, he encourages clients, as well as their third-party advisors, to only do what is morally and ethically best for all involved.

In being a well-established business owner and advisor himself, he is extremely discerning of those he recommends to his family of clients. After all, it’s his reputation on the line as well. Through a series of client events, Barry came to know Guy Hatcher as an advisor and Coach in a unique and revealing way.

I was introduced to Guy through an elderly client of mine who was worth millions in Real Estate. Her husband passed away and people were coming out of the woodwork to tell her how to spend her money. After many interviews, she settled on Guy Hatcher.

Through careful observation over a long period of time, I saw that Guy had a special way of treating his clients—like family. He was honest and straightforward, even with the not-so-pleasant issues, which is something I can really respect. From then on, I knew that not only could I trust him, but that all my clients could as well. Since then, Guy Hatcher has been the only advisor I recommend to my clients, and I’m happy to say that I’d recommend him to anyone.
