Thinking Outside of the Transaction

At Ascend, we think outside the transaction to the people behind it.

Be it clients, employees, or prospects, our team believes in humanizing investment banking and the engagement process. We place a high value on operating with integrity, maintaining good relationships, and simply doing the right thing…all while driving value with a sophisticated, data-driven approach.
