Brian Tumpane has spent nearly 20 years as a business advisor, executive, and entrepreneur, with M&A experience that spans deal sizes and industries — from personal investments to multi-billion-dollar acquisitions completed for Fortune 100 companies. That range gives him a deep financial background to draw on, so when an unusual issue surfaces mid-deal, he’s typically already seen a version of it before.
Based in Orlando, Florida, Brian has represented sellers across a range of outcomes: a sale of My Pet Chicken that exceeded the seller’s expectations relative to earlier broker quotes; a successful eCommerce sale of Aroma Outfitters built around identifying the right qualified buyer; Earth Circle Organics, which closed at full asking price within 14 days of listing; and Rolio Pigments, where he led buy-side negotiations to a close within the target asking range.
Brian’s view is that no two deals are ever the same, so the real work starts with understanding a seller’s specific background and motivation for exiting — not just the numbers on the P&L. Selling a business is inherently difficult, and he sees his job as making sure clients have an advisor in their corner who has actually navigated the process before.
Brian has three young kids who keep him busy most nights and weekends, usually on a baseball, soccer, or football field somewhere nearby. When he does get free time, he’s likely on a golf course or rooting for one of his Chicago sports teams.
