Finegan

Finegan & Company is a corporate finance advisory firm that's dedicated to an eclectic, nuts-and-bolts investigation of actual corporate finance challenges. The firm's objective is to help clients develop a broader, financially oriented understanding what drives shareholder value, and to help activate that understanding with concrete recommendation... s on risk management, capital structure, incentive compensation, strategy, and financial planning. The company was formed in 1994 from a nucleus of partners and officers of Stern Stewart & Co., the firm which trademarked and popularized EVA ® ( Economic Value Added). The principals of Finegan & Company were deeply involved in developing Stern Stewart's thoughts on, and expertise in, crafting compensation plans based on EVA and have continued to extend their knowledge and expertise in this field. We are also experts in enterprise risk management, with deep experience in modeling business, financial and operational risks, and in evaluating capital structure, liquidity and share value implications on a holistic, integrated basis. Patrick Finegan is the Managing Director of Finegan & Company. The principal difference between Finegan & Company and an investment bank is that we do not underwrite, broker or hold positions in client securities, or rely on transaction-based billing.

We strive constantly to reexamine longstanding VBM tenets in light of empirical evidence, examine competing methodologies for promising ideas and practical improvements, and invest our recommendations with a respect for the client's culture and experience.
