"I strongly recommend John as an advisor and consultant in the education, special education and autism space. When I started my company, John was the first person I turned to for industry knowledge, connections to influential people, and general advice. He's a first class man who always goes above and beyond."

"I attended a workshop on ABA business valuation by McLaughlin Advisors and immediately reached out to have a discussion. Their free consultation was so valuable to us (we should have paid). They laid out the hard concepts in an easy to digest way while getting straight to the hard parts to consider in any deal. Their experience and attitude are top-notch professional."
Will and Sara Smith, UP Autism, Little Rock, AR
"One of the best investments we made as business owners was to hire McLaughlin Advisors. John and his team possess a great deal of knowledge about today's education and therapy world. They conducted a thorough assessment of our business and walked us through their valuation process in great detail. They pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of our company and helped us to prioritize actions for improvement and areas for growth. We truly cannot say enough great things about John and his passion to help others succeed. Our only regret is not hiring them sooner! "
