Grant Samuel
Full service independent advisory Founded in 1988, our goal has always been simple – consistently deliver innovative advice that is truly valuable to our clients. Today, Grant Samuel is one of the most respected names in corporate finance across the Australian and New Zealand markets and further afield. We are uniquely positioned. Our independence allows us to be nimble, while delivering a fully integrated advisory and execution capability: • across all aspects of corporate finance from strategy and investment to financing and value; and • that is underpinned by real expertise and deep experience in each discipline. What we bring Real Expertise and Deep Experience Our senior executives bring market leading insights to each transaction built on extensive experience across transaction types and sectors. Agility Our team of over 50 executives provides a powerful platform but the absence of a corporate superstructure and global procedures also means we can be responsive and nimble in meeting our clients’ needs. Integrity We are committed to being honest, ethical and transparent, even if that costs us in the short term. We keep information confidential and will not use it to promote our own business. We deliver excellence with integrity. A Different Mindset There are many good reasons why things in finance are done the way they are. We respect that, but with no other business to ‘protect’, we are free to innovate by challenging the status quo and focusing on finding better ways to do things for our clients. A Client First Approach We listen to our clients. Their needs and objectives come first.
