Lud Jones Testimonial

Comments   |   General

As Kasper & Associates (K&A) begins year 37, it’s notable that K&A has been most fortunate over the years to maintain a superb staff having superior credentials ideal for merger and acquisition advisory work.  We’ve found that the only way to be successful in this adventure – with all its challenges, unpredictability and immensely high stakes – is an intimate relationship with God.  With this in mind, Senior Associate Lud Jones has written a testimonial which provides his insight for you of his tenure at K&A.  A slogan from a bank calendar states what can be said of Lud: “Great people are ordinary people with extraordinary amounts of determination.”  Thanks to Lud for the following.

Ed Kasper, Founding Partner


Nineteen years ago an opportunity was presented to me to join the K&A team in the merger and acquisition advisory field.  After many years in public accounting which was followed by a partnership in insurance brokerage, a new business venture for me at K&A was launched.

Why?  K&A was widely recognized in the business community for its integrity, honesty and business knowledge.  This solid foundation was important to me when representing a client at the time when his/her “life work” reached the point at which harvesting his/her equity was to be accomplished through a successful transfer of ownership.

At K&A I’ve learned the importance of having thoroughness and flexibility which are so critical for recognizing, understanding and evaluating the unique characteristics of each client’s business.  After this is properly done, K&A then focuses on compiling a custom client-oriented detailed report.  This composition is vital for achieving an outcome satisfactory to our client.

Being a member of the K&A team has been most satisfying for me.  Each associate has an advanced business degree and widespread business management experience.  However, one Success Maxim which is front and center at K&A is that “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”  And, without exception, each K&A team member’s focus is to represent our clients in their best interest.  This more than anything has made my time with K&A quite enjoyable and rewarding.

Lud Jones, Senior Associate
