Buy-Sell Agreements

When you enter into a buy/sell agreement, you want comfort that the agreement is structured with your best interests in mind. Bober, Markey, Fedorovich & Company's professionals have extensive experience to help you gain that peace-of-mind. Specifically, our professionals can assist you, working in conjunction with your legal counsel, in creating an agreement that is fair to you, your family and your business partners, while eliminating unanticipated surprises.

Executive Search

Over the years, Bober, Markey, Fedorovich & Company has worked with a large number of our clients to assist them in finding and hiring personnel. Also, when you consider that most recruiting firms charge their clients based on a percentage of their candidate's compensation (generally 25%-35% of the first year's compensation), our fees, based on standard hourly rates, oftentimes provide a bargain price for a high quality service. These services typically include the following:

• Assisting you in clearly defining the type of person that you need to fill a role, and in some cases actually writing a job description for your review and approval.
• Writing and placing of advertisements.
• Prescreening candidates over the phone.
• Conducting face-to-face interviews.
• Laying out candidate qualifications and recommendations.
• Assisting you in negotiating a good deal with the right candidate.
• Helping to transition the newly hired person into their new position.

Also, please be aware that we can be of assistance to clients looking for non-financial personnel. Our solid experience in the recruiting field, both for client needs as well as for our own needs, is valuable to our clients in areas of need beyond accounting.  If you are experiencing a shortage in your human resources area or are having difficulty in the recruiting of personnel, perhaps we can help.
