Charles Aris Transaction Services LLC is focused on one thing: landing proprietary business deals for our clients. For over 50 years, our firm has developed industry-leading sourcing and recruiting processes geared towards finding top talent. Now, we’re taking those processes and applying them to transformative business deals.
Our Story
Over the years, Charles Aris developed a deep expertise in the world of private equity by working to place top talent with the most acquisitive firms in the industry. After hundreds of successful talent searches, our clients began asking us for help sourcing business deals.
Then, leveraging the same procedures our firm uses to source and place top talent, we were able to help one of our clients close on a platform and add-on acquisition, with two more added acquisitions that were placed under LOI. Now, Charles Aris Transaction Services has become its own business and is headed by Charles Aris Founder & Chairman Mitch Oakley and its new managing director, Sean Curley.
