About
ChurchillTerry
ChurchillTerry provides advisory services to owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors in privately held companies. We work with these clients to accelerate profitable growth while minimizing the risks associated with early-stage and rapidly-growing ventures.
How We Are Different
Owner-managed businesses, including many entrepreneurial ventures, generational family businesses, investor portfolio companies, and professional partnerships such as law firms and creative agencies share unique characteristics, including:
- Deep, narrow expertise with limited general management experience
- Close-knit management teams where exploration of options can be interpreted negatively
- Third parties (families, partners, investors) may have significant say in important decisions
- Decisions that often have serious consequences for personal wealth as well as the business
- Involving unfamiliar or infrequent types of decisions that have far-reaching ramifications
Successfully navigating these challenges requires a comprehensive understanding of finance, people, and strategy . . . a rare combination from a single resource. ChurchillTerry provides that unique combination in all of our engagements whether providing specific guidance or simply education and a disinterested critical thought resource to our clients.
Where We Fit In
We help with the business of business.
We help our clients with:
- Growth
- Finance
- Transition
- Turn-around
We can supplement, expand or back-fill your team, both short-term and long-term. We fit in with your attorneys, tax accountants, financial planners, investors, bankers and insurance agents. We broker neither businesses nor funding, but can help with both. We can not only advise and plan, we can implement and execute. We structure engagements as both projects and retainers as preferred.
We worry about what you worry about.
The lifeblood and the measuring stick of enterprise. Whatever your company’s relationship with money, we can help.
Whether you need to track it better, find more or generate more, leverage it, keep it, spend it, save it or invest it. We take corporate finance and analysis seriously. So much so we’ve had our own award-winning economist on staff for over a decade.

We want you to be clear-eyed about your decisions, your investment and your potential return. And we’re willing to help with implementation, from macro concerns such as economics and commodity pricing to micro concerns such as commercial contracts and negotiations.

Our
Leadership
We believe the best business advice can only come from a thorough understanding of our clients’ finances. To that end, all of our advisors come with deep experience in areas such as accounting, investing, finance and economics. Many have successful business ownership backgrounds or C-level track records with P&L responsibility. That combination of financial acumen and business savvy is rare and valuable at any level, and ChurchillTerry is unique in providing it to middle and lower market companies for nearly 20 years.
