Dave Zibbell, CPA, Managing Director
(dave@gahran-zibbell.com)
Dave's gift is creating unique restructurings of
client balance sheets to position companies for sustainable growth.
He figures out ways to generate extra cash from a company's
assets. He also negotiates better deals with lenders than a company
can on its own, and directs the purchase and sale of companies on
behalf of clients.
Dave offers considerable insight into how to make succession
planning work. He knows the hidden pitfalls and
opportunities.
He also is an artful mentor who helps people understand financial
statements. He demystifies accounting jargon so that you can
more easily use financial information to your company's
advantage.
Dave is a seasoned executive with considerable senior operating
and financial management experience – serving as a corporate officer
for five manufacturing and distribution firms. He has received court
appointments as a "provisional director" of a "deadlocked
corporation," and as a disbursing agent in a Chapter 11
bankruptcy.
Dave's education: MS industrial management, MIT. BS
