The Intersect Group Achieves Record Year
Wade Hughes Joins as Partner
ATLANTA—January 17 , 2008 —The Intersect Group, the premier provider of finance & accounting and information technology services to Atlanta companies, announced its results for 2007. The Intersect Group finished the year with more than 140 billable consultants and a run rate of more than $15 million in annual revenue, putting it on track to be one of Atlanta’s fastest growing companies. As a result of its rapid growth, the company is in the process of expanding its Atlanta headquarters to accommodate continued growth anticipated in 2008.
The firm, founded in 2006, has assembled a group of veteran advisors and senior management to provide corporations with project management, transaction advisory, interim executive and staffing solutions for finance/accounting and IT. A notable addition to the senior management team this year is Wade Hughes as partner, formerly with Arthur Andersen Business Consulting for 12 years. Hughes’ leadership of Intersect consulting enables the firm to fully manage initiatives dealing with clients’ most important challenges—including strategy articulation, corporate governance, accounting operations and technology implementations.
Finance/Accounting Managing Partner Scott Meyerhoff said, “The reason for our explosive growth is that every member of our team has the industry background and long-standing reputation for delivering the solutions our clients need. In addition to our project management and functional expertise, we have built a robust recruiting engine that allows us to ramp teams up to scale quickly to meet clients’ time-critical demands without sacrificing quality.” Meyerhoff also said the firm has aggressive future growth plans. “We intend to set the standard for high quality and flexible professional services in Atlanta and eventually other markets,” he said.
Another 2007 success includes introduction of Intersect transaction advisory services, providing specialized advisory services primarily to high growth and rapidly changing organizations. Experienced C-level advisors are available to address strategic issues such as debt and equity capital raises, mergers and acquisitions, acquisition integration and restructuring initiatives.
